stretch is getting pretty old now -
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=921379 appears to have been
fixed in 2019. The output of nut-scanner should mostly be portable (besides any
bus-specific numbering), so if you really need nut-scanner, it should be
possible to find another distro (e.g. Linux live CD/USB; probably most recent
version of Ubuntu would suffice) and run it on a PC.

On the other hand, while I guess nut-scanner is useful for some, I have seen
nothing but headaches from the developer perspective (it is very sensitive to
the exact library paths, which vary based on distro and architecture). Unless
you are dealing with more than one or two UPS units, it will probably be quicker
to describe the UPS and its connection method (USB/serial/network) to this list,
and have someone generate a configuration file by hand.

For the common USB case, the ups.conf syntax is straightforward and
well-documented:
https://networkupstools.org/docs/man/usbhid-ups.html#_implementation

So even with Buster I get the same results - no nut-scanner. I was under the
impression that it was needed to get the serial # of an APC device. I have two
of the same type of devices (APC UPS) and the vendor code and product code are
the same for them, so I didn?t know how to distinguish one from the other in the
config files.
