Package: apcupsd Version: 3.14.8-2 Severity: important The killpower action is not working because of exec >>/var/log/apcupsd.events 2>&1 /etc/apcupsd/apccontrol which fails when /var/log is mounted read-only (as it is when halting). This seems to make the whole script exit (strangely I don't see a set -x, so I'm not sure why.
I hacked this locally to be: if [ "x$1" != "xkillpower" ] ; then exec >>/var/log/apcupsd.events 2>&1 fi But that's kind of lame so I don't add the "patch" tag here. I'm running the Squeeze version of the package but the debdiff to Sid doesn't highlight anything relevant looking other than some SNMP based killpower stuf which I suspect is orthogonal? -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.7 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages apcupsd depends on: ii libc6 2.11.3-4 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.4.5-8 GCC support library ii libwrap0 7.6.q-19 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra Versions of packages apcupsd recommends: ii apcupsd-doc 3.14.8-2 APC UPS Power Management (document Versions of packages apcupsd suggests: ii apcupsd-cgi 3.14.8-2 APC UPS Power Management (web inte pn hal <none> (no description available) ii udev 164-3 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo -- Configuration Files: /etc/apcupsd/apccontrol changed [not included] /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf changed [not included] /etc/apcupsd/changeme changed [not included] /etc/apcupsd/commfailure changed [not included] /etc/apcupsd/commok changed [not included] /etc/apcupsd/offbattery changed [not included] /etc/apcupsd/onbattery changed [not included] /etc/default/apcupsd changed [not included] -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
