Package: cups-client Version: 1.7.5-11 Severity: normal
On Jessie (cups 1.7.5-11) creation of a print queue with -m results in the PPD having permissions 640. root@gnome-jessie:~# lpadmin -p perms -v file:/home/brian/test.ps -E -m postscript-hp:0/ppd/hplip/HP/hp-business_inkjet_2250-ps.ppd root@gnome-jessie:~# ls -l /etc/cups/ppd/perms.ppd -rw-r----- 1 root lp 64033 May 4 19:24 /etc/cups/ppd/perms.ppd We'll tweak the queue. The permissions of the PPD are unchanged. root@gnome-jessie:~# lpadmin -p perms -v file:/home/brian/test.ps -E -o PageSize=A4 -m postscript-hp:0/ppd/hplip/HP/hp-business_inkjet_2250-ps.ppd root@gnome-jessie:~# ls -l /etc/cups/ppd/perms.ppd -rw-r----- 1 root lp 64041 May 4 19:26 /etc/cups/ppd/perms.ppd -rw-r----- 1 root lp 64033 May 4 19:24 /etc/cups/ppd/perms.ppd.O Another alteration to the queue. This sees the PPD file permissions alter. root@gnome-jessie:~# lpadmin -p perms -v file:/home/brian/test.ps -E -o PageSize=A4 -o booklet -m postscript-hp:0/ppd/hplip/HP/hp-business_inkjet_2250-ps.ppd root@gnome-jessie:~# ls -l /etc/cups/ppd/perms* -rw-r--r-- 1 root lp 64033 May 4 19:34 /etc/cups/ppd/perms.ppd -rw-r----- 1 root lp 64033 May 4 19:24 /etc/cups/ppd/perms.ppd.O How does the -P option perform after deleting the queue and starting again? root@gnome-jessie:~# lpadmin -p perms -v file:/home/brian/test.ps -E -P /home/brian/lj400.ppd root@gnome-jessie:~# ls -l /etc/cups/ppd/perms* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 68925 May 4 19:40 /etc/cups/ppd/perms.ppd Adding the previous two options in consecutive reinstallations as before sees the established permission on the PPD unchanged at 644. I could live with 640 or 644 (the latter, for preference) but it would be nice for lpadmin to give a consistent outcome when queues are installed or reinstalled. This behaviour seems related to STR: #4500 and #764253. Regards, Brian. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
