[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#676876: cups: remove obsolete conffiles

[Paul Menzel]

Package: cups
Version: 1.4.4-2
Severity: normal

Dear Debian folks,


there are obsolete unmodified conffiles left behind by the package.

        $ dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles}\n' cups | grep obsolete
         /etc/cups/acroread.conf 74fde568dd7616b3052f2cf6ee13e681 obsolete
         /etc/cups/pdftops.conf 04efb7cf36d45ee490b1c57b6e30d736 obsolete
         /etc/cups/oopstops.convs b1037d7b91885f0f7b82224d4bcc2766 obsolete
         /etc/cups/oopstops.types 725b23d5db635b3952bda4d97bb7a741 obsolete
         /etc/cups/pstopdf.convs e9091d8a1c09b2959013a006913f6527 obsolete
         /etc/cups/mime.types a7a6f550ad9e9a2bb8890bf9b7a7f445 obsolete
         /etc/cups/mime.convs 9f906d03d2cb9fc96119c576f61e5cf0 obsolete

        $ dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles}\n' cups | grep obsolete | cut -d " " -f 2 | xargs md5sum
        74fde568dd7616b3052f2cf6ee13e681  /etc/cups/acroread.conf
        04efb7cf36d45ee490b1c57b6e30d736  /etc/cups/pdftops.conf
        b1037d7b91885f0f7b82224d4bcc2766  /etc/cups/oopstops.convs
        725b23d5db635b3952bda4d97bb7a741  /etc/cups/oopstops.types
        e9091d8a1c09b2959013a006913f6527  /etc/cups/pstopdf.convs
        a7a6f550ad9e9a2bb8890bf9b7a7f445  /etc/cups/mime.types
        9f906d03d2cb9fc96119c576f61e5cf0  /etc/cups/mime.convs

It would be great if they could be removed [1].

I chose version 1.4.4-2 as `/etc/cups/acroread.conf` was removed there.

        cups (1.4.4-2) unstable; urgency=low

          […]

          * debian/local/acroread.conf, debian/local/pdftops.conf, debian/cups.install:
            Removed /etc/cups/acroread.conf and /etc/cups/pdftops.conf. These two files
            were used by the alternative pdftops filter from Helge Blischke. As we
            switched back to the original pdftops filter these files are not needed any
            more (LP: #605564).
