Sounds like this, along with several bugs listed on the mailing list lately, would have been solved by simply building for sources, not installing a binary package (and then wishing for the correct version of libraries). Maybe it's time to stop shipping those binary packages and simply ship a self-contained source that could batch-compile itself (something similar to the ports structure of bsd)? //Svein - -- - --------+-------------------+------------------------------- /"\ |Svein Skogen | [email protected] \ / |Solberg Østli 9 | PGP Key: 0xE5E76831 X |2020 Skedsmokorset | [email protected] / \ |Norway | PGP Key: 0xCE96CE13 | | [email protected] ascii | | PGP Key: 0x58CD33B6 ribbon |System Admin | [email protected] Campaign|stillbilde.net | PGP Key: 0x22D494A4 +-------------------+------------------------------- |msn messenger: | Mobile Phone: +47 907 03 575 |[email protected] | RIPE handle: SS16503-RIPE - --------+-------------------+------------------------------- If you really are in a hurry, mail me at [email protected] This mailbox goes directly to my cellphone and is checked even when I'm not in front of my computer. - ------------------------------------------------------------ Picture Gallery: https://gallery.stillbilde.net/v/svein/ - ------------------------------------------------------------ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkrQQkgACgkQODUnwSLUlKR8DgCdHbvWAei6YxGydZ+3O5CTBYTn dQIAoJQzXJGbkN1dkn857yrKz2qx6k+S =68On -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
