Package: cups-daemon Version: 2.2.7-1 Severity: normal Dear Debian Printing Team, I noticed a weird misbehavior of cupsd, which seems to be a regression.
I had configured /etc/cups/cupsd.conf with the directive IdleExitTimeout 60 in order to let cupsd exit when idle for 60 s: the feature (with systemd socket activation) was working correctly. However, after upgrading [UPGRADE] cups:amd64 2.2.6-5 -> 2.2.7-1 [UPGRADE] cups-bsd:amd64 2.2.6-5 -> 2.2.7-1 [UPGRADE] cups-client:amd64 2.2.6-5 -> 2.2.7-1 [UPGRADE] cups-common:amd64 2.2.6-5 -> 2.2.7-1 [UPGRADE] cups-core-drivers:amd64 2.2.6-5 -> 2.2.7-1 [UPGRADE] cups-daemon:amd64 2.2.6-5 -> 2.2.7-1 [UPGRADE] cups-ipp-utils:amd64 2.2.6-5 -> 2.2.7-1 [UPGRADE] cups-ppdc:amd64 2.2.6-5 -> 2.2.7-1 [UPGRADE] cups-server-common:amd64 2.2.6-5 -> 2.2.7-1 cupsd exits after 60 s of inactivity, but is mysteriously respawned immediately. The net result of all this is that cupsd gets restarted once every 60 s, which is annoying (especially because of colord verbosity, see bug #750533). The fact is that I cannot understand why cupsd gets respawned, when nobody is attempting to print anything or to use the web interface. And I am pretty sure that cups-daemon/2.2.6-5 did not exhibit this misbehavior. Could you please investigate this issue? Thanks for your time and helpfulness!
