Comment 12 for bug 209001

No, 2.2.2-pre1 does not work.

Perhaps I screwed up, but here are the steps I took:
downloaded an extracted the source package
cd nut-2.2.2-pre1
ln -s packaging/debian ./
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b

This fails, but after the code built, so I then attempted:
sudo ./packaging/debian/nut/lib/nut/megatec_usb -DDD -a belkin

Output:

I am still running the old nut, so I am not sure if it picked up any libraries from that or not, but it doesn't look like the new version helps. Has this bug been reported upstream?
