Hi,

I'm going to be retiring pm-utils from Fedora soon; it's completely
dead upstream and it not needed anymore by upower or anything else.
Nothing other than libvirt-clients depends on it, so when I tried to
remove this from rawhide I noticed this commit:

commit 7069f75cb8dad58715f723fd542e4ff69dbff51b
Author: Daniel Veillard <veillard at redhat.com>
Date:   Thu Dec 8 17:03:16 2011 +0800

    update to libvirt-0.9.8

added:

+# Needed for probing the power management features of the host.
+Requires: pm-utils

Is this true? You really don't want to be parsing pm-is-supported, it
often doesn't work and isn't used by anything else any more. Would it
be possible to port away from pm-is-supported if you're actually using
it, and drop the dep for F20 please? Any questions please CC me as I'm
not subscribed.

Thanks,

Richard
