Package: cups Version: 1.3.8-1lenny5 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Hi, I am not sure the qualification of this report is as severe as mentionned, but it may cause problems of usability while it's description is a little subtile detail regarding cups itself: after you configure cups for the first time, you'll be able at that moment to print a testpage; when you reboot the system later, you'll see you are no longer able to use the printer at all; reason: cups had turned your Brother, Canon or whatever printer into cups-pdf, and that doesn't work at all. I declare it here as severe since this may have an impact for normal users on the same computer who aren't administrators or hadn't such permissions to modify and fix the problem. The problem is that you have to re-enter in cups' configuration menu and resete each time the Brother, Canon or so printer as default. This is not specifi to Debian but also concerns the other deb-based distro named Ubuntu. Feel free to report this to cups if the problem is general and may concern CUPS in any cases. Anyway the impact is important, even if the bug is very little. Thanx for fixing this for all CUPS/distros. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_BE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_BE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages cups depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii cups-common 1.3.8-1lenny5 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii debconf [debcon 1.5.24 Debian configuration management sy ii ghostscript 8.62.dfsg.1-3.2lenny1 The GPL Ghostscript PostScript/PDF ii libavahi-compat 0.6.23-3lenny1 Avahi Apple Bonjour compatibility ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcups2 1.3.8-1lenny5 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libcupsimage2 1.3.8-1lenny5 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.1-5 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libgnutls26 2.4.2-6+lenny1 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libkrb53 1.6.dfsg.4~beta1-5lenny1 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.11-1 OpenLDAP libraries ii libpam0g 1.0.1-5+lenny1 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpaper1 1.1.23+nmu1 library for handling paper charact ii libslp1 1.2.1-7.5 OpenSLP libraries ii lsb-base 3.2-20 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii perl-modules 5.10.0-19 Core Perl modules ii poppler-utils [ 0.8.7-1 PDF utilitites (based on libpopple ii procps 1:3.2.7-11 /proc file system utilities ii ssl-cert 1.0.23 simple debconf wrapper for OpenSSL Versions of packages cups recommends: pn avahi-utils <none> (no description available) ii cups-client 1.3.8-1lenny5 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii foomatic-filters 3.0.2-20080211-3.2 OpenPrinting printer support - fil pn smbclient <none> (no description available) Versions of packages cups suggests: ii cups-bsd 1.3.8-1lenny5 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii cups-driver-gutenprint 5.0.2-4 printer drivers for CUPS pn cups-pdf <none> (no description available) ii foomatic-db 20080211-2+nmu1 OpenPrinting printer support - dat ii foomatic-db-engine 3.0.2-20080211-1 OpenPrinting printer support - pro ii hplip 2.8.6.b-4 HP Linux Printing and Imaging Syst pn xpdf-korean | xpdf-japa <none> (no description available) -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
