Of course. We don't release new versions without reason.

We have no control over whatever versions distributions are using. If  
you need to patch an existing installation, ask the people from whom  
you got the installed version.

You could compile the nut-2.4.3 sources and use (copy over) just the  
usbhid-ups driver, keeping the remainder of the installed nut-2.4.1  
installation as it is. Make sure to use the ./configure flags that  
were used by Ubuntu to build nut-2.4.1 for your system. We can't help  
you with that.

Best regards, Arjen

Arjen,
I've compiled the 2.4.3 source with the proper options (through trial and error).  I get the same initial error.  When I run the driver directly with the following command, I get the following output:
