[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#610438: cups: Failed to start service

Package: cups
Version: 1.4.4-7
Severity: important


When attempting to start a cups service, I got cups: unrecognized service

olga at SIGMA:~$ sudo service cups start
[sudo] password for olga: 
cups: unrecognized service

Also, while reinstalling a cups package, I got:
   lpstat: Connection refused
in apt's output.

In /etc/init.d/ is only cups.dpkg-dist, when I attempted to run it I got
cupsd: Child exited on signal 15!

Also I cannot connect to localhost:631

The system I use is Debian testing (I can't see it mentioned anywhere in this report)

I marked it as important because printing is not working at all because of this probably.
