Seems like regression, cupsys 1.1.23-15 (AMD64) won't start; dpkg says: ... Setting up cupsys (1.1.23-15) ... Starting Common Unix Printing System: cupsdcupsd: Child exited with status 98! invoke-rc.d: initscript cupsys, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing cupsys (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2 Errors were encountered while processing: cupsys E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) ...
There is something familiar in error_log: $ tail /var/log/cups/error_log ... I [13/May/2006:17:52:31 +0200] Full reload complete.

When I comment out 631 port line in /etc/cups/cups.d/ports.conf $ cat /etc/cups/cups.d/ports.conf # Port 631 , cupsys starts _fine_. Problem lives somewhere in post-install script, when I do apt-get install -f, then /etc/cups/cups.d/ports.conf gets modified again $ cat /etc/cups/cups.d/ports.conf Port 631 and cupsys won't start. Sorry for long story on simple issue, I tried to be as exact as possible.
