Bug#613935: gnome-power-manager: The current "Energy" level in the "Details" page is reported with a factor 10 lower

Package: gnome-power-manager
Version: 2.32.0-2
Severity: important


Right now, my battery power indicator shows "7.6%". The "Details" tab
of "Power Statistics" lists:

Energy: 7.1 Wh (should be 71.1 Wh I think, from the package-specific-info below).
Energy when full: 94.1 Wh
Percentage: 7.6%

However, this is wrong by a factor 10 compared to what
/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0 says:

derick at whisky:/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0$ cat energy_now 
7114000
derick at whisky:/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0$ cat energy_full
9411000

The latter information I believe to be correct.

cheers,
Derick
