Description Török Edwin 2014-10-21 17:28:32 UTC

According to the documentation [0] Version is not part of the API and "it should not be parsed, one may not assume the version to be formatted in any particular way.".

However checkSystemdVersion() in ./powerdevil/daemon/backends/upower/powerdevilupowerbackend.cpp uses Version.

The problem is that systemd-shim doesn't implement version, and this results in the loss of the Sleep/Hibernate buttons from the KDE menu (see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=747180).

Although it is rather simple to implement 'Version' in systemd-shim, I don't know if that should be done given that the documentation says it should not be used in the first place.

Reproducible: Always

Those checks have been removed since the versions that were checked for have been released to years ago.
