Dear Debian QA members, I recently came across an outstanding bug in package 'powermgmt-base', acutally it's two bugs for the same issue: #681181 and #684105. In his bug report filed on 7 Aug 2012 Marco d'Itri already gave the solution: changing the dependency of the package from 'module-init-tools' to 'kmod' in debian/control. I've already tried to contact Chris Hanson via pm (s. att.), but haven't got any response yet. As the history of the package in the PTS[1] shows no activity since 2009(!) whatsoever, I'd suggest orhpaning the package. In the meantime I'd like to start contributing to the project by taking care of specifically these two bugs (adapt serverity, merge, patch and nmu) unless there are any objections on your part, are there? I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi Chris, first of all, I'd like to appologize for contacting you personally! As I just ran into a problem cause by the dependency problem of powermgmt-base, I decided to take a look at the package myself. Both bugs were filed almost 1.5 years ago and the package history in the Debian PTS doesn't list any activity on the package since 2009. This is why I'd like to ask you if you'd mind me taking care of the two bugs? As a matter of fact, both bugs address the same issue, so I was about to merge them, but I wanted to check back with you first. Would this be OK with you? As I'm neither a DD nor a DM I'll have to NMU the package afterwards. Regards, MichaelAttachment: signature.asc
