Thanks, I just created an issue to remind me about that later: https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/issues/487

You might want to rebuild the .deb packages later, but for now, the quickest way is probably from source.

1) make sure you have "deb-src" lines to match the "deb" lines in /etc/apt/sources
2) run "sudo apt-get update" if you had to change anything
3) run "sudo apt-get build-dep nut"
3.5) optional: remove "asciidoc" (or install the build-deps manually, and omit asciidoc) to save a bit of build time
4) run "sudo apt-get -y install git" if you do not already have Git installed
5) clone the source to your working directory: "git clone https://github.com/networkupstools/nut.git"
6) "cd nut" and run this mega-command:

./configure --includedir=/usr/include --mandir=/usr/share/man \
        --infodir=/usr/share/info --sysconfdir=/etc/nut --localstatedir=/var \
        --libexecdir=/usr/lib/nut --srcdir=. --enable-maintainer-mode \
        --disable-silent-rules --libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu \
        --with-ssl --with-nss --with-cgi --with-dev --enable-static \
        --with-statepath=/var/run/nut --with-altpidpath=/var/run/nut \
        --with-drvpath=/lib/nut --with-cgipath=/usr/lib/cgi-bin/nut \
        --with-htmlpath=/usr/share/nut/www --with-pidpath=/var/run/nut \
        --datadir=/usr/share/nut --with-pkgconfig-dir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig \
        --with-user=nut --with-group=nut --with-udev-dir=/lib/udev \
        --with-systemdsystemunitdir=/lib/systemd/system

7) run "make"

Hopefully that works, and in the mean time, I will work on a quick patch that will attempt to grab the protocol number.
