Package: nut Version: 2.4.3-1+b1 Severity: normal --- Please enter the report below this line. --- Documentation from README.Debian says that "the default /etc/nut/upsd.conf is fine for a "standalone" configuration".
But with unmodified `upsd.conf` file nut's upsd fails to start. It is trying to bind to an ::1 address and fails to start on a kernel with IPv6 disabled. Adding "LISTEN 127.0.0.1 3493" directive to `upsd.conf` file allows the daemon to start. Maybe it should be mentioned on README.Debian. Here is the output from upsd with unmodified upsd.conf: desktop:/# upsd -DDD Network UPS Tools upsd 2.4.3 0.000000 listen_add: added ::1:3493 0.000111 listen_add: added 127.0.0.1:3493 0.000129 setuptcp: try to bind to 127.0.0.1 port 3493 0.000415 listening on 127.0.0.1 port 3493 0.000441 setuptcp: try to bind to ::1 port 3493 0.000568 setuptcp: bind: Cannot assign requested address 0.000676 not listening on ::1 port 3493 desktop:/# echo $? 1 --- System information. --- Architecture: amd64 Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 Debian Release: squeeze/sid 500 unstable ftp.by.debian.org 1 experimental ftp.debian.org --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed ===============================-+-============== libc6 (>= 2.4) | 2.11.2-6 libupsclient1 | 2.4.3-1+b1 libusb-0.1-4 (>= 2:0.1.12) | 2:0.1.12-16 libwrap0 (>= 7.6-4~) | 7.6.q-19 adduser | 3.112+nmu1 lsb-base (>= 3.0-6) | 3.2-25 udev (>= 0.124-1) | 161-1 Recommends (Version) | Installed ==============================-+-=========== bash-completion | 1:1.2-2 Suggests (Version) | Installed =======================-+-=========== nut-cgi | nut-snmp | nut-dev | nut-xml | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
