And you know this from "skipping filesystem check cos on battery"
message?

Have a look at "less /etc/init.d/checkroot.sh" especially:
===========================
# See if we're on AC Power.  If not, we're not gonna run our
# check.  If on_ac_power (in /usr/) is unavailable, behave as
# before and check all file systems needing it.
if which on_ac_power >/dev/null 2>&1 && [ "$rootcheck" = yes ]
then
        on_ac_power >/dev/null 2>&1
	if [ "$?" -eq 1 ]
	then
		log_warning_msg "On battery power, so skipping file system check."
		rootcheck=no
	fi
fi

===========================
root@box:~# which on_ac_power
/usr/bin/on_ac_power

root@box:~# dpkg -S /usr/bin/on_ac_power
powermgmt-base: /usr/bin/on_ac_power

Did you read the bug report to see if there was anything related? How do
you know the bug was actually fixed? (considering the error in the
changelog.gz file.)
