[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#343566: cupsys: /etc/cups/cups.d/ports.conf contains errornous string after upgrade.

[Christopher Martin]

I can confirm this report. I also had problems starting cupsys 
because /etc/cups/cups.d/ports.conf contained:

-e -n Port 631

Removing the "-e -n" fixed the situation.

BTW, was it really necessary to split out these settings from cupsd.conf? 
This affects 3rd-party printer configuration tools like kprinter, and 
others, I imagine, since now they spit out errors about strange "include" 
elements in cupsd.conf, and can't control the Ports, etc. settings as they 
used to. In short, these changes are a real pain. It would be nice if you 
could change the debconf system around to keep asking the new questions, 
but NOT to split anything out of cupsd.conf.

Thanks,
Christopher Martin
