Systemd cannot start laptop-mode (1.63-r2, last stable) with the following error:

---------

/usr/sbin/laptop_mode: line 205: HDPARM~_DEBUG: syntax error in expression (error token is ~_DEBUG)
[FAILED] Failed to start Laptop Mode Tools.
See 'systemctl status laptop-mode.service' for details.

Do you have leftovers of backup file in /etc/laptop-mode/modules/, /usr/share/laptop-mode-tools/modules/ ? look for hdparm with ~ somewhere
Comment 2 jimmij 2014-04-14 14:22:26 UTC 
Uhhh, indeed I had /usr/share/laptop-mode-tools/modules/hdparm~.
I was affected by https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=477958 so as a workaround for 1.63-r2 I've edited /usr/share/laptop-mode-tools/modules/hdparm manually with emacs editor which by itself created hdparm~ as a backup file.
Marked bug as solved. Thx.
