Re: bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=646247 Assuming that Filipus Klutiero 's analysis is correct, it means that cups causes unrelated software to become nonfunctional, which is grave.
When a usb printer is plugged in, it normally results in insmod usblp , and that is how it should be ; Changelog snippet itself even indicates that there may be other spoolers. Now that this bug on libinklevel is reported, we also know that there may be other non-spoolers, and if they need to insmod usblp, then this "fix" that cups maintainers made becomes ineffective. (so they should be notified) Also i wonder whether that "fix" was ever necessary in the first place, because multiple drivers should be able to have (semi-)concurrent access to same device, at least i read that with parallel port, a driver needs to claim (usually exclusive) access, then do it's thing, and then release that claim again so other drivers can use that hardware. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
