Re: PowerTop on Debian Stretch

I used PowerTop on Ubuntu 15.10. I found that Ubuntu 15.10 uses PowerTop
2.7. However Debian Stretch uses PowerTop 2.8. And it seems that the bug is
in the 2.8 version.

I tried to downgrade PowerTop and installed the 2.7 version on Debian. But
now I am getting another error line:

*** Error in `powertop': double free or corruption (!prev):
0x0000000002418ef0 ***
Aborted
