-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The snmp-ups driver 2.6.4 as packaged with Debian wheezy crashes when talking to a UPS that uses the CPQPOWER MIB. I have built 2.6.5 from source and found the same problem. On July 29th I grabbed the latest source from svn, built it and now have a working snmp-ups driver. Would it be possible to update the debian package? I'd be happy to help with testing. - -- Philip Ward Unix Systems Administrator 01786 467274 (ext 7274) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.20 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlIbKdAACgkQwZUoC5/YhEemVwCgl8YCOEZ+tqkue09HXDAYx8TV XFoAoI+qwZg7BPUNN9Tt9NxpDeWPjA8/ =f0TV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- The University of Stirling has been ranked in the top 12 of UK universities for graduate employment*. 94% of our 2012 graduates were in work and/or further study within six months of graduation. *The Telegraph The University of Stirling is a charity registered in Scotland, number SC 011159.

Given that this makes a specific driver unusable for certain hardware, it might be possible to create a patch for 2.6.4 that pulls in the latest snmp-ups driver. I would open up a bug against the package, and if needed, we can add that bug's email address to the CC list for this thread. -- Charles Lepple clepple at gmail
