Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: apcupsd
I have a APC Back-UPS pro 280 with a "smart" cable 940-0095A. I
installed the APC apcupsd and -cgi packages without problems. I then
when through the apcupsd.conf file making sure the settings are correct.
I enable the conf in the /etc/defaults/apcupsd file. I then stoped the
apcupsd service, and then started the service again.
I then wanted to test my UPS configuration. So executed the 'apctest'
program. This is the output (and error message) I got:
--------------------------------------------
$ sudo apctest

If apcupsd or apctest is already running,
please stop it and run this program again.
