(so far NO messages concerning a lot battery with 2.0.4-4)

# echo nut hold | dpkg --set-selections
# echo nut-cgi hold | dpkg --set-selections
# echo nut-usb hold | dpkg --set-selections

I will keep version 2.0.4-4 for now as 2.0.5-3+b1 has some serious bugs.

Let me know if you need anything else from me to track down this bug.

I have attached the output from this command:

 /lib/nut/newhidups -x productid=0912 -u nut -DDDDDDDD auto \
 > /tmp/nut-2.0.4-4-debug.log 2>&1

BUG: (the battery is relatively new (6mos) and there have been no recent power outages) Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done

From each version.

Hopefully this gives enough information to track down the bug.

(so far no low battery alerts with version 2.0.4-4)
