[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#320158: cupsys: What else would you expect to happen?

[Marc Wilson]

Package: cupsys
Version: 1.1.23-11
Followup-For: Bug #320158

Perhaps you mean /etc/cups/cupsd.conf?

BTW, how do you *expect* it to work?  Whether or not the cupsys package
considers cupsd.conf a conffile has nothing to do with whether or not
KDE/Gnome crapware alters it, and everything to do with preserving local
configuration options.

I'd be more than a little incensed if the package arbitrarily trashed
the permission changes I've made for job control.

Wouldn't you be?  Now, describe please a mechanism by which the package
could tell the difference between something *I* did, and something
KDE/Gnome crapware did.
