yep, this postinst action is creating more problems than it solves. I've something better to address this, that I'll release with the upcoming 2.2.2. So stay tuned. btw, I've identified a serious regression in the latest Gnome Power Mgr, that results in not handling the actions linked to the battery level... So possibly no shutdown. The good point is that nut 2.2.2 introduces the unique and most needed feature with UPS (that no other PM offers): the UPS poweroff. It still needs GPM to use it, but it's now there... cheers, Arnaud -- Linux / Unix Expert R&D - MGE Office Protection Systems - http://www.mgeops.com Network UPS Tools (NUT) Project Leader - http://www.networkupstools.org/ Debian Developer - http://people.debian.org/~aquette/ Free Software Developer - http://arnaud.quette.free.fr/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
