Having two batteries in my laptop, I found that acpi sometimes faild to show data on both at the same time, and only show a (random) one. Then all of a sudden it decided to not show any data at all. Decided to do an strace, and found that its tried actions don't really add up to my (2.6.9) layout of /proc/acpi/. It seems way off. This is using acpi-0.06-r5 bash-2.05b$ strace acpi execve("/usr/bin/acpi", ["acpi"], [/* 43 vars */]) = 0 brk(0) = 0x804c000 open("/etc/ld.so.preload", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 3 fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=34379, ...}) = 0 old_mmap(NULL, 34379, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 3, 0) = 0xb7fe4000 close(3) = 0 open("/lib/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 3 read(3, "\177ELF\1\1\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\3\0\3\0\1\0\0\0\241T\1"..., 512) = 512 fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=1166172, ...}) = 0 old_mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb7fe3000 old_mmap(NULL, 1096612, PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_DENYWRITE, 3, 0) = 0xb7ed7000 old_mmap(0xb7fdd000, 16384, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_DENYWRITE, 3, 0x105000) = 0xb7fdd000 old_mmap(0xb7fe1000, 7076, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb7fe1000 close(3) = 0 munmap(0xb7fe4000, 34379) = 0 open("/dev/urandom", O_RDONLY) = 3 read(3, "~\16\274R", 4) = 4 close(3) = 0 brk(0) = 0x804c000 brk(0x806d000) = 0x806d000 chdir("/proc/acpi") = 0 chdir("battery") = 0 open("/dev/null", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY) = -1 ENOTDIR (Not a directory) open(".", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY) = 3 fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0555, st_size=0, ...}) = 0 fcntl64(3, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 getdents64(3, /* 4 entries */, 1024) = 96 chdir("BAT1") = 0 open("state", O_RDONLY) = 5 fstat64(5, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0444, st_size=0, ...}) = 0 old_mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb7fec000 read(5, "present: yes\ncap"..., 1024) = 192 read(5, "", 1024) = 0 close(5) = 0 munmap(0xb7fec000, 4096) = 0 open("status", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("info", O_RDONLY) = 5 fstat64(5, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0444, st_size=0, ...}) = 0 old_mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb7fec000 read(5, "present: yes\ndes"..., 1024) = 435 read(5, "", 1024) = 0 close(5) = 0 munmap(0xb7fec000, 4096) = 0 open("temperature", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("cooling_mode", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) chdir("..") = 0 chdir("BAT0") = 0 open("state", O_RDONLY) = 5 fstat64(5, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0444, st_size=0, ...}) = 0 old_mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb7fec000 read(5, "present: yes\ncap"..., 1024) = 193 read(5, "", 1024) = 0 close(5) = 0 munmap(0xb7fec000, 4096) = 0 open("status", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("info", O_RDONLY) = 5 fstat64(5, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0444, st_size=0, ...}) = 0 old_mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb7fec000 read(5, "present: yes\ndes"..., 1024) = 438 read(5, "", 1024) = 0 close(5) = 0 munmap(0xb7fec000, 4096) = 0 open("temperature", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("cooling_mode", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) chdir("..") = 0 getdents64(3, /* 0 entries */, 1024) = 0 close(3) = 0 exit_group(0) = ?

This package is now owned by the mobile herd - it's a base-system package. There is a newer version out at the project homepage (http://grahame.angrygoats.net/acpi.shtml) but the package seems unmaintained. How shall we proceed? Take ownership and bump?
Reporter, please see if sys-power/acpi-0.9 fixes this issue.
I no longer have that laptop in my posession. The one I have right now (ancient Dell L400) with one battery only, runs acpi-0.09 just fine. I suggest you close this one... /Anders
