Package: cups Version: 1.4.4-7+squeeze2 Severity: normal I am seeing the same problem also. The root cause is that the 'printer' inetd option is being disabled on upgrade by the prerm script but not re-enabled in postinst. The postinst script currently checks for the value of cups-bsd/setuplpd on 'configure' before modifying inetd.conf::
# Add cups-lpd to inetd.conf db_get cups-bsd/setuplpd if [ "$RET" = "true" ]; then update-inetd --add 'printer stream tcp nowait lp /usr/lib/cups/daemon/cups-lpd cups-lpd' fi I guess that the situation could be remedied with something like the following: # Enable lpd in inetd (will only have an effect if entry already exists # and is currently disabled) update-inetd --enable printer # Add cups-lpd to inetd.conf db_get cups-bsd/setuplpd if [ "$RET" = "true" ]; then update-inetd --add 'printer stream tcp nowait lp /usr/lib/cups/daemon/cups-lpd cups-lpd' fi Cheers, Dan. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.6 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages cups depends on: ii adduser 3.112+nmu2 add and remove users and groups ii bc 1.06.95-2 The GNU bc arbitrary precision cal ii cups-client 1.4.4-7+squeeze2 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii cups-common 1.4.4-7+squeeze2 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii cups-ppdc 1.4.4-7+squeeze2 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii debconf [debconf-2 1.5.36.1 Debian configuration management sy ii ghostscript 8.71~dfsg2-9+squeeze1 The GPL Ghostscript PostScript/PDF ii libavahi-client3 0.6.27-2+squeeze1 Avahi client library ii libavahi-common3 0.6.27-2+squeeze1 Avahi common library ii libc6 2.11.3-4 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcups2 1.4.4-7+squeeze2 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libcupscgi1 1.4.4-7+squeeze2 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libcupsdriver1 1.4.4-7+squeeze2 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libcupsimage2 1.4.4-7+squeeze2 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libcupsmime1 1.4.4-7+squeeze2 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libcupsppdc1 1.4.4-7+squeeze2 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.24-4+squeeze1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libgcc1 1:4.4.5-8 GCC support library ii libgnutls26 2.8.6-1+squeeze2 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.8.3+dfsg-4squeeze6 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries - k ii libijs-0.35 0.35-7 IJS raster image transport protoco ii libkrb5-3 1.8.3+dfsg-4squeeze6 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.23-7.2 OpenLDAP libraries ii libpam0g 1.1.1-6.1+squeeze1 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpaper1 1.1.24 library for handling paper charact ii libpoppler5 0.12.4-1.2 PDF rendering library ii libslp1 1.2.1-7.8 OpenSLP libraries ii libstdc++6 4.4.5-8 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-16 userspace USB programming library ii lsb-base 3.2-23.2squeeze1 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii poppler-utils 0.12.4-1.2 PDF utilitites (based on libpopple ii procps 1:3.2.8-9squeeze1 /proc file system utilities ii ssl-cert 1.0.28 simple debconf wrapper for OpenSSL ii ttf-freefont 20090104-7 Freefont Serif, Sans and Mono True ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime Versions of packages cups recommends: pn cups-driver-gutenp <none> (no description available) ii foomatic-filters 4.0.5-6+squeeze2 OpenPrinting printer support - fil ii ghostscript-cups 8.71~dfsg2-9+squeeze1 The GPL Ghostscript PostScript/PDF Versions of packages cups suggests: ii cups-bsd 1.4.4-7+squeeze2 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - pn cups-pdf <none> (no description available) ii foomatic-db 20100630-1 OpenPrinting printer support - dat pn hplip <none> (no description available) ii smbclient 2:3.5.6~dfsg-3squeeze8 command-line SMB/CIFS clients for ii udev 164-3 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo pn xpdf-korean | xpd <none> (no description available) -- Configuration Files: /etc/default/cups changed [not included] -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
