Bug 139265 – knutclient-0.8.6 won't connect, 0.9_pre1 works fine but is masked

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Zack Pearsall 2006-07-04 22:05:06 UTC]

Using knutclient-0.8.6 and nut-2.0.0_r1 I get a "no connect to server" error from knutclient.  I unmasked and emerged knutclient-0.9_pre1 and it connected fine using the same configuration from 0.8.6.

Suggest unmasking knutclient-0.9_pre1

The problem with 0.8.6 does appear to be specific to amd64.  Knutclient-0.8.6 running on my x86 box can connect to upsd on the amd64 box without error.  I also tried compiling knutclient-0.8.6 with gcc-3.4.4 on the amd64 box but it gave the same error as when compiled with gcc-4.1.1.

Well, no one ever responded to this bug. But in the mean time 0.9 has been released and unmasked in portage rendering this issue moot.
