[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#538204: cups: broken on squeeze by upgrade

[Andres Salomon]

Package: cups
Version: 1.3.11-1
Severity: grave
Justification: makes cupsd usuable

Upon upgrading cups on a squeeze system, I see the following:

cupsd.conf exists:

I don't know if this is related, but in /var/log/cups/error_log, I see:
E [23/Jul/2009:18:35:10 -0400] "/etc/cups/ssl/server.crt" is a bad symlink - No such file or directory
