pm-utils doesn't call anacron

I was going to report a bug, until I saw this thread

Surprisingly Mr. Falkner and I are the only one who notice this, while the same problem caused a lot of irritation in the time of the ACPI implementation (when anacron wasn't working too)

adding anacron so they can see if a pm-utils hook needs to be written.

This seems to be because part of the power management stuff is still done by acpi-support. On my 32bit 8.04 powered laptop, anacron gets stopped/started when switching to battery/ac (alt+ctrl+F1 switch to tty1, unplug ac and messega shows up"*Stopping anac(h)ronistic cron anacron") but to me it seems its still done with /etc/acpi/battery.d/15-anacron.sh and /etc/acpi/ac.d/85-anacron.sh which is weird since scripts placed in i.e. /etc/acpi/resume.d no longer get executed and you have to place your scripts in /etc/pm/sleep.d/ . Also the /etc/acpi/power.sh still gets called when switching to battery/ac.

Another thing, some variables in /etc/default/acpi-support are still valid and affect the system's power management behavior, some no longer have any effect, i.e. ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE setting still works, while MODULES has no effect and one must create his own new config in /etc/pm/conf.d/ to configure modules which should get unloaded before suspend/hibernate.

Maybe a new bug should be reported, to completely remove acpi-support package from default install and fully migrate all the scripts and hooks to pm-utils since for now the hardy power management seems like glued and duct taped together from pm-utils and acpi-support.

likely dup of bug #249220.

Can someone with this issue check with latest release in Intrepid and report here ? Thanks.

Hooks for specific packages are not meant to be put in the pm-utils package, but in their respective packages. That's why there is a directory for hooks.

It's fixed in Intrepid. There is a hook for anacron in /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/95anacron and /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/anacron, both found in packages anacron.
