Package: nut Version: 2.8.1-1 Hi, the most recent version of nut added the new apc_modbus driver, but it did so to the base nut-server package.
Due to that on upgrade people will get more dependencies installed: The following additional packages will be installed: libmodbus5 This feels odd as there is the explicit nut-modbus package to encapsulate those drivers with a dependency to it. From d/control: "This package provides nut-modbus, a collection of drivers for UPS systems with Modbus-based communication protocols." This might as well be intentional, but then OTOH what would we keep nut-modbus for? If it was not intentional I'd prefer to move apc_modbus to nut-modbus (which for transparency [1] would also help me on the Ubuntu side with dependencies) For the second option I provided you a PR to consider [2], let me know what you think.
