how install unstable 2.7.2-1 version in RaspBerry that I think that contents
this new driver.
There are a few options, depending on whether you prefer packages, or if you
need to install this quickly.

One way might be to request a backport. I have no experience with this
particular group, but you could try requesting here:
http://sourceforge.net/p/raspbian-backports/suggestions/

Another way is to download the Debian source files for 2.7.2-1 from
https://packages.debian.org/sid/nut (three links under "Download Source
Package" in the right sidebar) and use 'debuild -us -uc' from the
devscripts package.

Since I needed to build from the latest code, I used 'apt-src' to
install the build dependencies. Note that this will require a fair amount of
free space on your SD card (I am using a 4GB card with Raspbian). In
/etc/apt/sources.list, copy the first line, and change 'deb' to
'deb-src' like so:

deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ wheezy main contrib non-free
rpi
deb-src http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ wheezy main contrib
non-free rpi

Then run 'sudo apt-src install nut'. This downloads the packages needed
to build NUT 2.6.4, but then you would want to grab the newer NUT 2.7.2 package.
You may also want to remove the nut* .deb binary packages to avoid confusion.

Unpack nut-2.7.2.tar.gz, and follow the installation instructions here:
http://www.networkupstools.org/docs/user-manual.chunked/ar01s05.html

If you need help, please subscribe to the nut-upsuser list and describe the
problem there.

Dear Charles,

Thanks for your quick reply, but I can't install nut_2.7.2 in my raspberry.

1) I create a [nut] directory and use wget to download three files:
[nut_2.7.2-1.dsc] [nut_2.7.2.orig.tar.gz] [nut_2.7.2-1.debian.tar.xz] 2)I
unpack:  
dpkg-source -x nut_2.7.2-1.dsc
3) I use command
  root at pi1:/nut/nut-2.7.2# debuild -us -uc .
..
And I have the following error code:
---------------------------------------------

Any idea? what am I doing wrong.
I don't have installed 'apt-src' command to install dependencies.

I think I may be of some help in this matter.  Since I am running a
bunch of Raspberry Pi's with NUT and it took a lot of hacking to make
it possible.  You could probably copy and paste this right into a
shell script and just run it ...

It has been years since I took a Spanish class, but I am going to guess that it

I would highly recommend installing it ('apt-get install apt-src').
While Steve's suggestion will work, building with the Debian packages is not
too difficult, and you will get the benefits of any security updates to the
dependencies. The Debian package for NUT also has been integrated into the
shutdown sequence.
