I tried the workarounds mentioned in the post without success, which is 
apparently a result of a packaging error in the update RPM. There was a bug 
reported to RedHat from the original post. Thats why I was waiting for the 
next update 2.8.0-3 to 2.8.0-8.

If necessary I will compile a new RPM from source but because I thought the 
binary was monitored and maintained I expected it to eventually be resolved.

Will have a look at it again tomorrow.

The only change I had to make when going from the official 2.7 RPMs to 
2.8 was to change from starting "nut-driver.servuice" to starting each
UPS's driver individually, e.g. "nut-driver at ups1-1.service", 
"nut-driver at ups2-1.service"...

Other than that the official 2.8 RPMs are working just fine on both of 
my CentOS Stream 8 environments.
