[Bug 204612] Re: nut 2.2.1-2.1ubuntu1 fails to install on Hardy Heron

Another note, rebooting still resolves the issue, as long as you perform
an apt-get purge before trying to install again (apt-get remove might
work too, I didn't try it).

When I rebooted and tried to install again BEFORE I did the purge, I got
this:

mfisch at tadow:~$ sudo apt-get install nut
