Package: nut
Version: 2.7.1-1
Severity: normal

On upgrade ups.conf new configuration file proposes, on the last line, a:

maxretry = 3

option.

The option is not supported by usbhid-ups driver that consequently
refuses to start:

# upsdrvctl start
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.7.1
Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.38 (2.7.1)
USB communication driver 0.32

Fatal error: 'maxretry' is not a valid variable name for this driver.

Look in the man page or call this driver with -h for a list of
valid variable names and flags.


This prevents using the ups. upsc will report:

Init SSL without certificate database
Error: Driver not connected


Since the driver was never started.

Commenting the option fixes the problem.

Proposed fix is to comment the option by default, report upstream
that usbhid-ups should accept/ignore it, then re-enable the option.

Best Regards,
Gabriele Dini Ciacci
