Hi Folks, I have a debian 'testing' system with /usr under lvm2 control and hit this problem. I've gotten killpower working with a slightly patched apcupsd 3.14.3-2, as follows:
$ apt-get source apcupsd $ sudo apt-get build-dep apcupsd $ cd apcupsd-3.14.3 $ patch -p1 < ~/apcupsd-lvm.patch $ fakeroot debian/rules binary Then install the .deb files produced for apcupsd and apcupsd-doc and configure as normal. The patch switches to linking against static libnetsnmp, libcrypto, and libz. It also removes a call to 'wall' during apccontrol killpower (for some reason the echo before apcupsd --killpower does not use wall but the call after it does, so I removed the extra call). apcupsd-lvm.patch ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ diff --git a/configure b/configure index 9983225..d49fedd 100755 --- a/configure +++ b/configure @@ -11972,7 +11972,7 @@ fi echo "$as_me:$LINENO: result: $ac_cv_lib_crypto_EVP_DigestInit" >&5 echo "${ECHO_T}$ac_cv_lib_crypto_EVP_DigestInit" >&6 if test $ac_cv_lib_crypto_EVP_DigestInit = yes; then - echo ' including crypto library for snmp.'; DRVLIBS="$DRVLIBS -lcrypto" + echo ' including crypto library for snmp.'; DRVLIBS="$DRVLIBS -Wl,-Bstatic -lcrypto -lz -Wl,-Bdynamic" fi @@ -12048,7 +12048,7 @@ fi echo "$as_me:$LINENO: result: $ac_cv_lib_netsnmp_snmp_open" >&5 echo "${ECHO_T}$ac_cv_lib_netsnmp_snmp_open" >&6 if test $ac_cv_lib_netsnmp_snmp_open = yes; then - DRVLIBS="$DRVLIBS -lnetsnmp" + DRVLIBS="-Wl,-Bstatic -lnetsnmp -Wl,-Bdynamic $DRVLIBS" SNMP_LIB_FOUND="yes" fi diff --git a/platforms/apccontrol.in b/platforms/apccontrol.in index cc2aae9..e8fa840 100644 --- a/platforms/apccontrol.in +++ b/platforms/apccontrol.in @@ -61,7 +61,7 @@ case "$1" in echo "Apccontrol doing: ${APCUPSD} --killpower on UPS ${2}" sleep 10 ${APCUPSD} --killpower - echo "Apccontrol has done: ${APCUPSD} --killpower on UPS ${2}" | ${WALL} + echo "Apccontrol has done: ${APCUPSD} --killpower on UPS ${2}" ;; commfailure) echo "Warning communications lost with UPS ${2}" | ${WALL} ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I hope this solution helps others. -Brad -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
