Hi Charles, That package is supposed to install both server and client (according to the description at https://packages.debian.org/stretch/nut anyway). I'll try both server and client individually later and see if that helps.

If you install the 2.7.4 .deb with dpkg, and you have the 2.6.4 nut-client and nut-server .debs installed, the dependencies are satisfied. (The nut metapackage does not depend on specific versions.)
Hi Charles, Tim, Ah, thanks for bit about the dependencies. Would have thought them to be version specific. Tried with the client and server debs but it seems too many dependency differences between wheezy and jessie. I also tried upgrading from wheezy to jessie wholesale to see if that worked and it did solve nut but in the process broke something else that's more critical so I'll give the following another try: 1) try Tim's suggestion of searching for the "new" upsdrvctl or failing that, 2) uninstalling 2.6.5 and then installing 2.7.4 via tar Cheers On 3 August 2017 at 19:21, Charles Lepple <clepple at gmail.com> wrote:> On Aug 3, 2017, at 5:35 AM, Song Teck <songteck at gmail.com> wrote: > > > > That package is supposed to install both server and client (according to > the description at https://packages.debian.org/stretch/nut anyway).
