Bug Description

Binary package hint: acpi-support

The current released versions of acpi-support and pm-utils confuse end users because both appear to be able to do suspending and resuming.

As I was informed, the acpi-support suspend code isn't used at all since it's all handled by the pm-utils backend instead. This old acpi-support code should then not be shipped.

$ apt-cache policy acpi-support pm-utils

This is still a problem in Intrepid.

It's an actual problem in intrepid, since the acpi scripts are broken, so really need to go away., or just get symlinked to their counterparts The symlink might be preferable in a lot of ways, since it would give people a clear pointer to where to look if something goes wrong.

These directories are no longer included in karmic; marking as resolved.

I have a fully up-to-date Karmic (installed from Karmic CD (amd64) and did upgrade) and I have "these directories": at least I have /etc/acpi/suspend.d/ and I just tried to put some scripts there, were confused by this bug, asked Google, found this bug, surprised that it's fixed. :) I have the following files under /etc/acpi/

If you had files in those directories at the time of upgrading to karmic, they aren't going to be automatically removed for you; but the acpi-support package definitely no longer ships them.
