Let me say that more loudly: You should be testing and using the latest
NUT code.  At the very least 2.8.2.  Often packaging systems have old
code, and running that means you are missing a lot of fixes.   Sometimes
that means you  are missing a fix that takes you from head scratching to
just working.

The advice to test with some other box is great.
