Package: acpidump Version: 20131115-1 Severity: minor -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
Hello, I just upgraded the acpidump package from wheezy to current sid, which replaced it with a transitional package bringing in acpica-tools instead. Which is fine. But somehow the "turbostat" binary disappeared without even being mentioned anywhere in the current documentation. I find this a bit surprising, given that it was listed in the old acpidump package description: Package: acpidump Version: 20100513-3.1 Installed-Size: 78 Maintainer: Mattia Dongili <malat...@debian.org> Architecture: amd64 Depends: perl, libc6 (>= 2.7) Description-en: utilities to dump system's ACPI tables to an ASCII file This package contains a small collection of utilities ACPI system tables: * acpidump: to dump tables * acpixtract: to convert ASCII acpidump output to raw binary * turbostat: to gather performance statistics (x86 only) . Note: Upstream package is called pmtools.

Ignoring it just leads to these completely unnecessary bug reports. As it is now, with no explanation at all, it looks like the acpidump package has been replaced by an unrelated package without the same functionality. That's not a transition in my eyes...
