Hi all,

Just in case it still happens to someone using the latest cups: This
bug has nothing to do with cups at all (nothing with
cupsdCallPamAuthHelper() in particular either, which does close pipes
properly), but was in fact a bug in dbus 1.0.2.

It is fixed in dbus 1.1.1, if someone needs a fix for stable, please
grab the patch from https://launchpad.net/bugs/112803.

So, while Kenshi closed the bug with a wrong changelog, it can stay
closed in sid/testing because dbus 1.1.1 is in Lenny now.

Thanks,

Martin
