Nut upsuser - Aug 2022 - Where is nut-scanner on raspberry pi?

Just get conman not found. Quick google search finds others with same issue.  On
raspberry pi 3b.

The locations of tools are controlled by the Linux distribution you
are using and the packages you have installed, not by the hardware
platform.

Please reply to the list indication which Linux distribution you are
using and which NUT-related packages you have installed.

It turns out that there is a bug in nut about this, in 2.8.0.

I checked the pkgsrc package, and it doesn't have nut-scanner.  Usually
what is packaged is what upstream installs.  On digging in, I found that
the package did not declare a dependency on libltldl and thus it was not
visibile during the build, and nut-scanner was not built.

The first bug is that this is not documented in INSTALL.nut.  If it
were, it would be a package bug not to provide it.  It is sort of hinted
at that somehwere else there is a list of prereqs, and I eventually
found them, but I think "this is what you need installed to build",
even
if a pointer, should be front and center in a really-hard-to-miss way.
And, there is a huge list of per-OS, without first things being
described in terms of upstream package names in an
OS/distribution-agnostic manner.

The second bug is that the nut-scanner man page is installed even if
nut-scanner is not built.  Probably the fix is to move man pages to be
with their programs so docs/code match, but that is surely a can of
worms and just conditionalizing it in the Makefile.am the same way that
the nut-scanner subdir is conditionalized is reasonable.

I changed pkgsrc to depend on libltldl and now I get nut-scanner.  I'll
likely commit that change.  But, the main nut package does not use usb,
and I haven't figured out how that works with the usb split package.

(I am not meaning to assert that nut-scanner does or does not belong as
default or that users should or should not use it.)

The nut-scanner I got doesn't seem that useful:

  OPTIONS:
    -C, --complete_scan: Scan all available devices except serial ports
(default).
  * Options for USB devices scan not enabled: library not detected.
  * Options for SNMP devices scan not enabled: library not detected.
  * Options for XML/HTTP devices scan not enabled: library not detected.
    -O, --oldnut_scan: Scan NUT devices (old method).
  * Options for NUT devices (avahi method) scan not enabled: library not
detected.
  * Options for IPMI devices scan not enabled: library not detected.
    -E, --eaton_serial <serial ports list>: Scan serial Eaton devices
(XCP, SHUT and Q1).
    -T, --thread <max number of threads>: Limit the amount of scanning
threads running simultaneously (not implemented in this build: no pthread
support)
