Yes, Amr appears to be suggesting a workaround; to install a different piece
of software (battery-status) and use that.

Please try to limit this discussion to the issue at hand, which is strictly
upower and the stock power indicator (gnome-power-manager) failing to
provide an estimate.

I'm curious that upower has been marked fix released :)
Is that accurate? The reason I'm confused is the upstream bug report
(Launchpad still calls upstream devicekit-power) appears to be open with
little activity. Was battery-status getting the missing information from
upower on one of the offending batteries?
