[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#343251: Proposed config could prevent cupsys from running (cupsd: Child exited with status 98)

[Daniel Leidert]

Package: cupsys
Version: 1.1.23-13
Severity: important

I've updated my cupsys packages and answered the debconf questions with
the values you can see at the end of this mail. The resulting proposed
config contained:

in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf: Port 631
in /etc/cups/cups.d/ports.conf: Listen 127.0.0.1:631

This now leads to the following error, when cupsys tries to start:

| Starting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd
| cupsd: Child exited with status 98!

You can only have one of the above entries, but not both together. You
should check for an existing 'Port' entry and comment it, if a 'Listen'
entry is made /etc/cups/cups.d/ports.conf. I think, you can see the
problem.

Regards, Daniel
