 Hi there,

 Ups is connected via usb:

 Bus 003 Device 002: ID 051d:0002 American Power Conversion
 Uninterruptible Power Supply

 Recently I noticed that nut stopped to recognize it (probably after
 some update):

 # /lib/nut/usbhid-ups -a APC
 Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.41 (2.7.4)
 USB communication driver 0.33
 No matching HID UPS found
 # cat /etc/nut/ups.conf
 [APC]
 driver = usbhid-ups
 port = auto

 I did try to fix the problem by adding vendor or product options or
 changing the driver but no luck.

 Any suggestions? Is the driver correct?

Smart-UPS models have two kinds of signal communications - Basic and Smart
Smart signaling offers more functionality and in general recommended to
use by APC.
I'd try to use "apcsmart" driver in nut config. [1]
For other things to try I'd check recent apt installation logs for
installed packages relevant to this case.
Also checking syslog for any clues would be a good place to start and
see how UPS is recognized by the system when connected and what
permissions assigned to it by udev.

I corrected the subject. It was Sid but it should be stretch.
Sorry, to many computers.

I don't know about nut, but I had similar problems with APC SU1500 
models in the past.

I have PLD-linux in chroot ad I did run the following:

As you can see, result is positive. No reboot, the same kernel. So, this 
is 100% software problem related to Debian. A bug maybe??
