Okay, it seems Samuli Suominen has written a patch already. I'll try
it tonight and upload new wmbattery and sleepd if it works.

The package is orphaned but not abandoned. I'm the original author of
upower.c. As it worked for me, there was no need to rewrite it until
the new upower introduced the breakage. I still have the old upower,
and I don't have time to check what's broken.

Anyway, this feels really weird. We've been told that using /proc and
/sys is bad, as those interfaces are unstable and can change any time.
Also we've been told that upower is Teh Stable Interface to use. Okay,
we use it. And now it breaks, while users of /sys don't have any
problems at all.

This package is orphaned and abandoned upstream, so I didn't consider it a
blocker for the transition. If you care about it, perhaps you can fix this bug
and adopt the package? I haven't checked how much porting work is needed here,
but upower.c is small so hopefully it's not too bad.

Cheers,
Emilio

Andreas, I'd expect a patch from you prior to the upload of a newer
upower. I currently have no time nor desire to review the API changes
to perform the porting, so a tested and working patch would really
help.

Hello!

The upower transitions (#751953) has now been started and this
makes your package fail to build from source in unstable.
