Comment 28 for bug 222761

I reproduced the problem with the original version of nut in the hardy release, 2.2.1-2.1ubuntu7, and confirmed that upgrading to the version in hardy-proposed, 2.2.1-2.1ubuntu7.2, corrected this issue. I also verified that things work properly when:

  - upgrading via 2.2.1-2.1ubuntu7 (release) -> 2.2.1-2.1ubuntu7.1 (updates) -> 2.2.1-2.1ubuntu7.2 (proposed)
  - installing 2.2.1-2.1ubuntu7.1 (updates) and upgrading to 2.2.1-2.1ubuntu7.2 (proposed)
  - freshly installing 2.2.1-2.1ubuntu7.2 (proposed)

Note that I (still) don't have a ups, so all I was able to verify was that upsdrvctl started up enough to get to the point that it failed when trying to talk to the (non-existent) serial device.

Thanks.
