Public bug reported:
I do not why, but the USB UPS device appears very late in the boot
process. I would say, it appears only after the boot, even through it is
plugged in continuously. The result is that the nut server, therefore
the nut driver starts nearly at the same time, creating a race
condition. I was able to fix it with a 10 second sleep in the init.d
script (3 seconds was not enough). syslog extract:
