[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#438432: Possible fix

[Bastian Venthur]

Hi again,


I think I found the problem: in cupsys.postinst around line 105 you try
to create hardlinks:

  for module in $list; do
    ln /usr/lib/cups/backend-available/$module \
       /usr/lib/cups/backend/$module
    if [ "$module" = "ipp" ]; then
      ln /usr/lib/cups/backend/ipp /usr/lib/cups/backend/http
    fi
  done

Ipp gets some special treatment but when you look at the files cupsys
provides:

  /usr/lib/cups/backend-available/http
  /usr/lib/cups/backend-available/ipp
  #             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  /usr/lib/cups/backend-available/lpd
  /usr/lib/cups/backend-available/parallel
  ...
  /usr/lib/cups/backend-available/usb

So I guess (not sure though) removing the if-ipp block should fix the
problem.


Cheers,

Bastian
