Trusty issue seems to be different from original one, to actually get the error message printed I had to use:

Might file another bug for that unless one is already filed. ** Tags removed: trusty -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/850672 Title: "port = auto" does not work with bcmxcp_usb (powerware 5115) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nut/+bug/850672/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
