[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#587899: /usr/sbin/cupsd: symbol lookup error

[Jan Prunk]

Hello !

I received the same error:
Starting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd/usr/sbin/cupsd: symbol
lookup error: /usr/sbin/cupsd:
undefined symbol: _httpReadGNUTLS

But there is a solution to it:

I had an older version of cups installed which somehow didn't upgrade
automatically.
These were the cups dependancies:
ii  cups                                 1.4.1-4

I did "aptitude update" and "aptitude install cups", which installed:
ii  cups                                 1.4.4-1
 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - server

And it solved the problem.

I hope it helps.

Regards,
Jan
