[Bug 387728] [NEW] package nut 2.4.1-2ubuntu4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nut

I have been trying to install the MGE UPS-psp package. It worked with a previous Ubuntu installation, 8.04 but would not install in my new computer with 9.04 64bit and then on dual boot 64/32 bit. Each time complaining about some problem with nut or no user "nut". I completely re installed 9.04 32 bit. Again I could not install. It seems MGE has been taken over again and is now Eaton so I decided to leave it. Now when I try to install any software I get an error stating nut would not install or upgrade.
I intend to re install nut using synaptic.
The mge package for Ubuntu was tried to be installed using the instructions on their website from the terminal because it did not show up in synaptic.
