Package: nut Version: 2.0.1-2 Severity: important
As part of the upgrade to version 2 the syntax for granting access to
network clients has changed. This means that as a result of upgrading
the package to version 2 configurations which use network access to UPSs
(which one would have thought would be rather common) will break. To
make matters worse clients retry with great frequency, resulting in
large volumes of logging as their requests are rejected.
Similarly, the 'newapc' driver has been renamed to 'apcsmart', again breaking existing configurations during upgrade.
At the minute no warning of these changes is provided to the user during
the upgrade process, meaning that the system will be left misconfigured
until the user happens to notice the problem. The package should at the
very least mention the incompatible configuration file changes in
NEWS.Debian. Ideally it would be able to automatically upgrade user
configurations.
I'm working on a -3 release that will correct that as I've completly forgotten this point :-(
thanks for the report
Arnaud
