I reproduced the initial problem using nut-2.2.1-2.1ubuntu7. I verified
that using the package in -proposed, nut-2.2.1-2.1ubuntu7.1, corrects
the issue, but *only* if the -proposed package is a new installation of
the nut package. Upgrading to the nut package in -proposed from the
version released in Hardy does not fix the issue; this is because the
nut user and group already exist in the passwd database, and thus
adduser does not get invoked. Similarly, removing the nut package
entirely and then attempting to install the fixed package leaves the
user with the same problem because on package removal the nut user and
group are not removed.
I'm assuming this is insufficient and am tentatively rejecting the fix,
as the committed fix doesn't actually address the issue for people
currently attempting to use the package.
My test system does not have a UPS attached so I haven't actually
verified that the nut package otherwise works.
