Package: acpi-support-base
Version: 0.109-11+intri0
Severity: normal

Hi,

getXuser uses 'w' to list the logged on users.
'w' truncates the login names to 8 chars,
which in turns breaks the various /etc/acpi/*.sh scripts that use
getXuser/getXconsole to get a username they feed into 'su'.

This issue is fixed by using pinky instead of 'w', as proposed by Luca
Niccoli on bug #502141.
