I asked Mike Sweet, the author of CUPS, what is happening here and he answered:
---------- Based on the bug report, it sounds like this is an internal bug of Avahi. The fact that a production build of a library is forcing an assert is troubling - it doesn't allow the caller to perform any recovery and IMHO makes Avahi totally unsuited to production use at all. The fix on the CUPS side is easy - bundle mDNSResponder (Apache license) with Ubuntu and build CUPS against it. For Avahi, we'll need to get someone from Avahi to look at the issue... ---------- Seems really to be an Avahi bug ... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1131854 Title: cupsd crashed with SIGABRT in __assert_fail_base() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/avahi/+bug/1131854/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
