[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#591509: cups: Won't start: undefined symbol: _httpReadGNUTLS

[Sam Morris]

Subject: cups: Won't start: undefined symbol: _httpReadGNUTLS
Package: cups
Version: 1.3.8-1+lenny8
Severity: important

Cups won't start, it gives this message:

cupsd/usr/sbin/cupsd: symbol lookup error: /usr/sbin/cupsd: undefined symbol: _httpReadGNUTLS

This is because I have cups/stable installed, except for libcups2 which was
pulled in from testing when I upgraded samba. I guess lax dependency
information prevented apt from upgrading cups too.

Upgrading the rest of cups to the version in testing fixes the problem.
