[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#485514: config files are not properly migrated over to new cups package

[Michael Biebl]

Package: cups
Version: 1.3.7-6
Severity: serious

After todays upgrade, cupsys, which is now only a transitional package,
pulled in the cups package.
The existing config files are not properly migrated though.

So now I have:
default/cups(ys)
init.d/cups(ys)
logrotate.d/cups(ys)
pam.d/cups(ys)
rc1.d/K80cups(ys)
rc2.d/S20cups(ys)
rc3.d/S20cups(ys)
rc4.d/S20cups(ys)
rc5.d/S20cups(ys)

This is a major issue, as now, not only log files are rotated twice, but
also the cupsd is attempted to be started twice.

The existing conffiles should be properly migrated from cupsys to cups
and the old start/stop symlinks should be removed (iirc there is no
proper way to migrate existing start/stop symlinks; think of file-rc vs.
sysv-rc).

This bug should definitely be fixed before it enters testing, so I'm
filing with severity serious.

Cheers,
Michael
