Hi, I am not sure how to register or log in on https://bugs.debian.org/ -- so here is my email with the text which you are welcome to publish on the website (or tell me how I can do this).
Kind regard, Bruno !!! MESSAGE !!! Sorry, I'm not familiar with the policies here at bugs.debian.org and I'm also quite new to GNU-Linux -- so please be indulgent! Package: pm-utils Version: 1.4.1-17 Severity: critical On trying to install pm-utils on a pretty new system without many changes (firmware-9.1.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso with kernel 4.9.0-3) on an ASUS laptop, Synaptic gives the following message: "»critical Fehler von pm-utils (? 1.4.1-17) <Ausstehend> b1 - #863679 - /usr/sbin/pm-powersave: repeatedly runs until /var/log/pm-powersave.log fills up disk" As a novice, I rather would not like to downgrade systemd or the kernel -- as suggested -- since the system does not run troublefree yet (there are still a lot of hardware issues and I don't want to open another can of worms). You further write that "on systemd machines, keeping pm-utils is kind of pointless" -- does this mean that I can do without it or should I install an alternative? Suspend and hibernate do not work yet on the machine ... Thanks for your help and input! kalamazoo !!! END OF MESSAGE !!!
