Don't know if you did, but perhaps you have an old, stale, lock file.

Yes, that is what the source code suggest for that error : "Lock file data error". What I don't understand is - there's an open() and a read() before the code that evaluates the read data - I don't understand why I don't see those calls in the strace.

open("/etc/apcupsd/LCK..", O_RDONLY) = 4

Huh? That can't be it, the default lock path is "/var/lock/". Well, maybe that's the issue then - the lockpath is wrong?

Patrick, could you verify the lockpath in your config? As Andrei says, it looks like apcupsd is trying to use /etc/apcupsd/ for the lockfile, which is crazy.

Indeed it does, as provided in apcupsd-3.14.13-95.5.x86_64.rpm, /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf: LOCKFILE /etc/apcupsd and changing to: LOCKFILE /var/log solves the problem.
