Upower-0.9.8 requires active CONFIG_ACPI_SYSFS_POWER. With the latest kernel (2.6.37) this option is obsolete and doesn't exist. Reproducible: Always
I have the same problem! I can not find the option CONFIG_ACPI_SYSFS_POWER in the kernel configuration (kernel-config-x86_64-2.6.37-gentoo)... >>> Installing (1 of 1) sys-power/upower-0.9.8 * Messages for package sys-power/upower-0.9.8: * CONFIG_ACPI_SYSFS_POWER: is not set when it should be. * Please check to make sure these options are set correctly. * Failure to do so may cause unexpected problems. >>> Auto-cleaning packages... >>> No outdated packages were found on your system.
yes, it's obvious that the check should be limited to kernels <2.6.37. I don't think the option was just renamed and still exists somewhere else.
I believe this is the relevant kernel commit: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.37.y.git;a=commit;h=1b3d4c3b9a597e216c08bff2c59a8de872ef2d09 It looks like what was an option is now always built when sysfs is enabled on >=2.6.37. This should just check for CONFIG_SYSFS on >=2.6.37.

Fixed in 0.9.8. Removed 0.9.7. 0.9.5 won't be fixed, we'll wait for 0.9.8 to stabilize instead: http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/sys-power/upower/upower-0.9.8.ebuild?r1=1.2&r2=1.3
