Package: nut Version: 2.0.1-2 Severity: important As part of the upgrade to version 2 the syntax for granting access to network clients has changed. This means that as a result of upgrading the package to version 2 configurations which use network access to UPSs (which one would have thought would be rather common) will break. To make matters worse clients retry with great frequency, resulting in large volumes of logging as their requests are rejected.
Similarly, the 'newapc' driver has been renamed to 'apcsmart', again breaking existing configurations during upgrade. At the minute no warning of these changes is provided to the user during the upgrade process, meaning that the system will be left misconfigured until the user happens to notice the problem. The package should at the very least mention the incompatible configuration file changes in NEWS.Debian. Ideally it would be able to automatically upgrade user configurations. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.22-1-686-smp Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages nut depends on: ii adduser 3.63 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.30.11 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
