[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#677180: cups crash with "undefined symbol: _ppdCacheGetFinishingOptions"

Tue Jun 12 06:38:14 UTC 2012

Package: cups
Version: 1.5.3-1
Severity: serious
Justification: required

Dear Maintainer,

After a recent upgrade, cups does not work anymore.

# service cups restart
[....] Restarting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd/usr/sbin/cupsd: symbol lookup error: /usr/sbin/cupsd: undefined symbol: _ppdCacheGetFinishingOptions
 failed!

Moreover, HPlip does not find the PPD file where it should find it, but it’s not a cups bug.
