[Nut-upsuser] Can't get latest version for Raspberry Pi
Hi all,
Someone should be able to help me - I think this is an easy one.
I have a Raspberry Pi successfully running nut-server talking via USB to a
Liebert UPS.
It is running Version 2.6.4 which was installed ages ago following
instructions freely available on the internet by A. Bakalidis
I now see that the directory containing 2.6.4 in the repository at
http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/pool/main/n/nut/ appears to have a
build version also available of 2.7.2 - but no matter what I do with apt-get
remove, purge, update, upgrade, install, (all the options!) it always seems
to suggest that the only available version is 2.6.4
Can anyone enlighten me how to install a version newer than 2.6.4 on my Pi
as I think there is better support for my Liebert??
Regards,
Paul.

Thanks Charles,
I had no idea what a wheezy or a Jessie was until I followed your link -
thanks for that. I'm surprised I hadn't come across that link before.
All of my investigations do point to the fact I have a wheezy. I think it's
time for a fresh install as the Pi is pretty much doing nothing other than
monitoring the UPS and a few other minor tasks. I get the impression a
dist-upgrade might get me to where I want to be but it may be more
straightforward to format the SD card and start again making sure I backup my
nut configuration files first of course!
Regards,
Paul.

It looks like you have Raspbian wheezy (Debian 7.x). NUT 2.7.2 is included in
Raspbian jessie (Debian 8.x).
I'm not sure if the Raspbian maintainers recommend doing "apt-get
dist-upgrade", or if they would suggest that you start from a fresh install
image, but the dist-upgrade would probably take quite a while.
