Package: cupsys Version: 1.2.2-2 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 10.7.3
Lines 131-137 of cupsys.postinst incorrectly assume that *any* lines containing "Include /etc/cups/cups.d/browse.conf" and ".../ports.conf" in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf are indeed remnants of now-obsolete debconf options. They are not. The script should *at least* check if the debconf even has answers to the now-obsolete questions and not destroy cupsd.conf if it has not modified it earlier. What happens (on a *fresh* install of etch): 1) install cupsys 2) edit cupsd.conf to Include /etc/cups/cups.d/browse.conf 3) remove cupsys 4) install cupsys 5) your Include -directive is gone OR 1) install cupsd.conf, which Includes /etc/cups/cups.d/browse.conf 2) install cupsys 3) your include -directive is gone This is *very* annoying in an environment, like ours, where cfengine pre-distributes config files (dpkg is always run with --conf-old) and packages are installed only afterwards. -Juha -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-1-amd64-k8-smp Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages cupsys depends on: ii adduser 3.97 Add and remove users and groups ii cupsys-common 1.2.2-2 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.3 Debian configuration management sy ii gs-esp 8.15.2.dfsg.1-2 The Ghostscript PostScript interpr ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcupsimage2 1.2.2-2 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libcupsys2 1.2.2-2 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libdbus-1-2 0.62-4 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libgnutls13 1.4.2-1 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libldap2 2.1.30-13+b1 OpenLDAP libraries ii libpam0g 0.79-3.1 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpaper1 1.1.19 Library for handling paper charact ii libslp1 1.2.1-5 OpenSLP libraries ii lsb-base 3.1-14 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii patch 2.5.9-4 Apply a diff file to an original ii perl-modules 5.8.8-6.1 Core Perl modules ii procps 1:3.2.7-2 /proc file system utilities ii xpdf-utils [poppler-util 3.01-9 Portable Document Format (PDF) sui ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime Versions of packages cupsys recommends: ii cupsys-client 1.2.2-2 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii foomatic-filters 3.0.2-20060712-3 linuxprinting.org printer support pn smbclient <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
