Package: powertop Version: 1.11-1 Severity: normal In squeeze, while battery-powered, makes the following suggestion:
"Suggestion: Disable or remove 'gnome-power-manager' from your system. Older versions of gnome-power-manager wake up far more often than needed costing you some power." With an older version in lenny, it didn't make this suggestion. Now the version of gnome-power-manager is 2.24.4. It would be undesirable to remove it. Moreover, having tried to follow this suggestion, I didn't notice substantial gains in battery life. Probably it's still the newer gnome-power-manager's energy consumption that is the problem, in which case the message would better omit saying anything about an "older" version.
