Package: nut Version: 2.0.1-3 Severity: normal When upgrading I am informed that the config file format has been updated and that I will manually have to update them. The choice is given to "Yes", upgrade or "No", leave it for now.
If I choose "No" (as I want to leave the old version for now, and sort it out later) I am given the following errors as the package tries to configure. This then aborts the entire upgrade. This is using aptitude.
