Package: cupsys
Version: 1.2.2-2+b1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
The last version of the cupsys init script assumes that:
- we are using a kernel with modules compiled
- modutils/module-init-tools are installed
- we want to load lp and ppdev if they are not statically compiled in
the kernel
This is an issue for example when only ipp printers are used (so we
don't need any of these drivers), and the running kernel does not
support lkms (or modprobe is not available).
While I think 'lp' and 'ppdev' should be added to /etc/modules if
required, and that loading lkms in init script is not really the right
thing to do, we should at least check if lkms are available before
calling modprobe.
Maybe we should also check that modprobe is available (and executable?).
