Bug 143993 – sys-power/powersave doesn't work anymore after update to powersave-0.12.21

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

Hello

After the recent update of sys-power/powersave from 0.12.20 to 0.12.21 (14. August 2006) it doesn't work anymore an my x68. 

Unfortaunately I didn't get any error messages from powersave or powersaved that I could post here. I can only say, that it compiled fine but I'm not able to start the daemon `/etc/init.d/powersaved start`.
Playing a bit with the executale /sbin/powersaved didn't give any answers, I only achieved a segmentation fault sometimes.

For me the curently hard masked version 0.13.5 is working fine now. So it might be better to remove it from package.mask or go back to the older version 0.12.20?

Here my System info:
