New pm-utils packages that updates pm-utils to 0.99.3, fix several bugs,
and adds an enhancement are now available.

Description

The pm-utils package contains utilities and scripts for power management.

These updated packages, based on the newest upstream version

pm-suspend. The default pm-suspend(/usr/sbin/pm-suspend) file now suspends
correctly.

The following enhancement is included:

• a new hal-daemon which works with more chipsets and utilizes more

features of these chipsets.

updated packages, which resolve these issues and adds this enhancement.
