[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#585153: cups-pdf: Sets too restrictive permissions on /usr/lib/cups/backend

[Michael Schuerig]

Package: cups-pdf
Version: 2.5.0-15
Severity: normal


Today I noticed that I couldn't print anymore to my dead tree
printer. In /var/log/cups/error_log I see

D [09/Jun/2010:17:34:26 +0200] [Job 1319] /usr/lib/cups/backend/socket: Permission denied

Indeed that directory has rather restrictive permissions

drwx------ 2 root root 4.096 2010-06-09 17:44 /usr/lib/cups/backend

Before upgrading to 2.5.0-15, these were drwxr-xr-x.
After I changed the permissions back, printing worked again.

I'm not certain, whether the restrictive permissions the error
or whether they are correct and whatever else that's broken by
them is at fault.
