Package: nut-client Version: 2.6.4-1 Severity: important It seems to me that nut-client can't start without the 'nut' user, but only the server package adds it.
The odd thing is, I think I first installed both the server and client, then purged them as I realized I only needed the client, then installed just the client and found out the init.d script didn't start NUT (and didn't report any errors either, BTW!). When I found out from syslog that the problem was the missing 'nut' user, I installed the server, purged it again and surprisingly, the user it had created was still in /etc/passwd. I wonder why the first purge deleted it and the second didn't.. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.20-2-custom01-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages nut-client depends on: ii libc6 2.13-33 ii libupsclient1 2.6.4-1 Versions of packages nut-client recommends: ii bash-completion 1:2.0-1 nut-client suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/nut/nut.conf changed [not included] /etc/nut/upsmon.conf [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/etc/nut/upsmon.conf' /etc/nut/upssched.conf [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/etc/nut/upssched.conf' -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
