Well you may be right, but quite obviously it currently is,
as the package I have linked resides right in the same repository, that is linked on the first page of this thread.

So symptoms:
-No charging indicator,
-battery always shows as empty or not calibrated
-when off and plugged in, charging indicator lights up for a few seconds, flashes green and goes off.
- (not entirely sure)

Workaround:
Control charge state with "bnf"
Remember to unplug before full charge.

Solution:
???

@jonwil:
I have heard this often, but how else should i upgrade all packages which aren't handled by the updater? For example certificate updates.
I usually glance over the packages and skip/hold ones which I am not sure off, or wait a few weeks. Also usually I can fix problems, but in this case I can't find an old version.
