Package: cupsys
Version: 1.2.1-2
Severity: normal
I don't know why it happens, but since June 5 (I do a daily dist-upgrade
of my testing system), I get this in my /var/log/messages every 30
seconds:
Jun 14 19:42:33 vixen kernel: Shorewall:net2all:DROP:IN=eth0 OUT= MAC= SRC=192.168.1.10 DST=192.168.1.255 LEN=175 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=79 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=631 DPT=631 LEN=155
As it is on port 631, I assumed it's CUPS doing this. Why? Is it really
a bug or do I need to turn something off with the new package?

It indeed is a feature, not a bug. Closing this report.
