Details

**Description**:

The upowerd (/usr/lib/upowerd) binary will fail once the necessary libraries are not available, and therefore force a crash dump. Additionally, a symlink here is wrong, and needs to be corrected in the build.

Missing dependencies in the upower package:

- libimobiledevice (>=1.3.0)
- libplist (>= 2.2.0)

Wrong symlink:

- libimobiledevice.so.6 should be libimobiledevice-1.0.so.6


**Additional info**:

* at least upower version 0.99.11-3 and later

Steps to reproduce:

- Install upower
- Make sure libimobiledevice is not installed (as it is not a dependency for upower package)
- Reboot
- Observe crash in "systemctl status upower" and missing battery icon in GNOME top bar
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  libimobiledevice *is* a dependency of upower. Deliberately breaking your installation is not a bug.
