My apologies for not being very clear in the changelog. The transition could have been handled better.
It turns out there are two versions of acpidump -- one in the Linux kernel source tree and one in the upstream ACPICA source that acpica-tools originally started from, both from the same upstream authors. Having discussed it with them, upstream wants to get to a single version of acpidump -- and that's why it appears there's a new version of the tool. AFAIK, both versions are pretty close to being in sync in terms of functionality. Turbostat is a slightly different problem. I will close this bug with a note in the changelog that turbostat can now be found in the package collectd-core, something that should have been mentioned much earlier, but I unfortunately did not. It was also dropped from acpica-tools because it is not part of the ACPICA upstream, but part of the Linux kernel tree. The acpica-tools package is now at least from a single source upstream, without the Debian user losing any functionality. Again, my apologies for the lack of info in the changelog. I've added info to it now that should help. -- Ciao, al ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Al Stone Debian Developer E-mail: [email protected] http://www.debian.org ----------------------------------------------------------------------
