[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#399572: Error when doing reportbug cupsys

[Robert Derochette]

Package: cupsys
Version: 1.2.7-1
Severity: important

Hello !

Printing with CUPS fails for me, so I was about to file a bug report, maybe to get help on how to 
solve my problem. However, starting reportbug also fails saying :


robert at lightning:~$ reportbug cupsys

Getting status for cupsys...
Verifying package integrity...
There may be a problem with your installation of cupsys;
the following files appear to be missing or changed:
debsums: can't open cupsys file /usr/lib/cups/backend-available/ipp (Permission denied)
debsums: can't open cupsys file /usr/lib/cups/backend-available/lpd (Permission denied)
Do you still want to file a report [y|N|q|?]? y


When trying to print with CUPS, I get "/usr/lib/cups/backend/http failed" displayed on the printer 
status (http://localhost:631). So I'm wondering if those two problems aren't linked.

Thanks for any help !

Regards,

Robert Derochette
