Package: apcupsd Version: 3.14.12-1.1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Newer APC UPS devices require support for a protocol called modbus. For apcupsd to be able to control such UPSes, it needs to be built with modbus/usb support (--enable-modbus-usb build option and build dependencies on libmodbus-dev and libusb-dev). Please consider rebuilding apcupsd packages with the above option and build dependencies enabled in all supported versions of Debian. For more information please refer to [1].
