Bug Description

Reference: https://www.phoronix.com/news/UPower-1.90.4-Released

Upower 1.90.4 has been released, which fixes an issue making some users (maybe having Logitech devices and others) use more cpu and disk than intended.

For me (I have Logitech mouse receiver), when I look at htop without doing anything, I see upower appearing there as using CPU.

If the upgrade cannot be done at this stage, maybe the patch can be added to 1.90.2 (the current version in the repository of 24.04): https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/upower/upower/-/merge_requests/212

The Debian maintainer pointed out 1.90.3 is the same as 1.90.4 except for the version change so 1.90.3 is good enough for the fix you are wanting.

summary: - Upgrade UPower to 1.90.4 to lower cpu and disk usage
+ Upgrade UPower to 1.90.3 to lower cpu and disk usage
