Hi Manolo,

thanks for the confirmation. I'll do the fix and an upload soon (being back
from a month off is a hell!).

cheers

Hi,

doing 'dpkg-reconfigure nut' it will change the line 'MODE=standalone'
to 'MODE=' in the file /etc/nut/nut.conf

But if I previously change 'MODE=standalone' to 'MODE =standalone' or to
'MODE = standalone' the space(s) will be removed and nut will start.
'MODE= standalone' will fail too.

So yes, I think your guesses are right.

Bug#531220: nut.conf overwritten during reinstall with not prompting

2009-06-28 Thread Arnaud Quette 
Hi Daniel and Manolo,

nut.conf is listed as a conffile (automagically by dh_installdeb).
but the issue is probably the MODE reprocessing at postinst which fails when
it is "source'able" (ie "MODE=..." without spaces). this result in an empty
string ("MODE=").

can you confirm that you end up with the same result?

cheers,
Arnaud

Bug#531220: nut.conf overwritten during reinstall with not prompting

2009-05-30 Thread Daniel Dickinson 
Package: nut
Version: 2.4.1-2
Severity: serious
Justification: not sure


nut.conf is a conffile (or should be) and is overwritten during
apt-get --reinstall install nut

and overwriting conffiles without prompting is a violation of policy.
