Bug#337093: cupsys: pidfile creation breaks user-mode cupsd
Package: cupsys
Version: 1.1.23-12
Severity: important
The patch 47_pid added in -12 makes it impossible to run several cupsd
instances as well as running a private per-user cupsd (even in absence
of system cupsd) impossible. Please either make this behaviour
(inability to write to pidfile is fatal) optional or revert to original
behaviour (pidfile created by start-stop-daemon). This breaks at least
freenx.
