Package: nut
Version: 2.7.4-14ubuntu2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
during installation of nut in an LXD container, the postinst script
fails at this line:
[ -x /etc/init.d/udev ] && pidof systemd-udevd > /dev/null \
&& udevadm trigger --subsystem-match=usb --action=change
The container lacks permission to trigger USB changes via udevadm,
causing postinst to fail, although the rest of NUT works.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch a Debian container:
lxc launch images:debian/12 mynut
2. Install nut:
lxc exec mynut -- apt update
lxc exec mynut -- apt install nut
3. Observe postinst failure.
Suggested fix: Skip udevadm trigger if running inside a container or
without sufficient privileges. Possibly check with
systemd-detect-virt --container.
