Package: powersaved
Version: 0.14.0-6
Severity: critical
Justification: causes serious data loss


On my laptop, when the AC adaptor is unplugged 'powersave -B' reports a 
constant battery state (75% charged, 180 minutes left) no matter what the
state according to 'acpi -V' is, it doesn't change a bit.

If the AC adaptor is plugged in 'powersave -B' reports values which are
comparable with those of 'acpi -V'.

I've set the severity to critical since I think that one of the key
functions of powersaved for laptop users is to prevent data loss caused
by running out of battery. If powersaved constantly sees 75% of capacity
it will never trigger the appropriate actions.

I don't know when this faulty behaviour started but I remember that it
has been working correctly in the past.

Kind regards,

Felix
