6.10.3: Package pm-utils missing after upgrading from 6.9.1 to 6.10.3

[teempleer]

Hi,

 

I'm experiencing an issue after upgrading from unraid 6.9.1 to 6.10.3. In the previous version, commands from the pm-utils package were available out of the box in my unraid system. For example:

 

# which pm-suspend
/usr/sbin/pm-suspend

 

After upgrading to 6.10.3, those commands are no longer there:

 

# which pm-suspend
which: no pm-suspend in (.:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin)

 

I downgraded to 6.9.1, and was able to use pm-utils again no problem. Pm-utils, or pm-suspend more precisely, are a key dependency in my setup, so unfortunately this is a breaking change preventing me from upgrading to the latest version.

 

I upgraded directly from 6.9.1 to 6.10.3, so unfortunately I'm unsure which version removed pm-utils.

 

What I did so far:

 

1. Searched forums for "pm-utils" and "pm-suspend" to see if it was mentioned in the release notes or anyone's recent posts. I wasn't able to find anything helpful.

2. Tried looking into Nerd Pack, but unfortunately pm-utils aren't available through there.

 

Can you clarify why the pm-utils package was removed from unraid distribution? Is there a plan to add it back? If not, what alternatives are there (without docker etc., I'd like the command to be available on the bare system to keep my existing scripts working).

 

Thank you in advance!

pm-utils was replaced by elogind - sorry I don't use that tool so didn't notice the change.

 

try:

loginctl suspend

I suspected pm-utils were deprecated in favor of a new tool, but "elogind" and "loginctl" didn't come up in my google searches.

 

Anyhow, all I had to do is replace pm-suspend with loginctl suspend, and everything works fine again.

 

Thank you!
