[Bug 1998872] [NEW] unattended-updates failing in kinetic as AC power detection is bugged

[Gordon Lack]

Public bug reported:

The ConditionACPower testing code does not work correctly on some
systems. This prevents the unattended-updates systemd service running as
it thinks that a system (a NUC10i3FNYHN) is running on battery. It isn't
- it just has  a power supply that can *provide* power over USB.

This (unattended-updrades) was OK in Jammy, but started to fail when I
upgraded to Kinetic.

(A systemd override file to remove the condition gets the service
working again.)

The problem is similar (or perhaps identical) to the problem with the
on_ac_power script (from the powermgmt-base package).

That has been reported in bug #1980991.  There are more details there.

** Affects: systemd (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Package changed: powermgmt-base (Ubuntu) => systemd (Ubuntu)
