apcupsd-3.10.6 without /usr/sbin/apcupsd

[sg00]

Hi,
I've emerged apcupsd-3.10.6, but trying to start it

/etc/init.d/apcupsd.start
* Starting APC UPS daemon...
start-stop-daemon: stat /usr/sbin/apcupsd: No such file or directory [ !! ]

it doesn't start because /usr/sbin/apcupsd can not be found.

Where can I find it? Any clues?

Regards,

I discovered something similar during a recent update. The symptom for me was apcaccess not being found.

I removed the package and re-emerged it while watching the screen and found there were some errors in compiling. I am in the process of downgrading to apcupsd-3.10.5 for the near future. If I have some spare time, I intend to try looking into why the compile failed.

It's failing because apcupsd doesn't want to compile with the net-snmp headers, so none of the binaries actually get built. (I don't know Portage well enough to figure out why the emerge still succeeds.)

Works fine for me if I use "-snmp" when building, i.e.:

Code: Select all

USE="-snmp" emerge apcupsd

I think this is going to be the long-term solution -- the maintainer, Kern Sibbald, has said on the apcupsd mailing list that there's no one left who understands the SNMP driver in apcupsd, so I don't expect it to be updated to work with net-snmp anytime soon.

this is a bit of a resurrection for this thread but im getting the same problem now....

gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/apcupsd-3.10.10-r2/work/apcupsd-3.10.10/src'

despite these problems, it emerges successfully, if anyone has an idea what to try please let me know.
