Package: gnome-cups-manager
Version: 0.17-2
Severity: important
Tags: patch

When running gnome-cups-manager it displays the following error and exits:

The CUPS server could not be contacted.

I have done some debugging and research, and apparently the bug is
caused by gethostbyname. I'm using a 2.6 kernel with both ipv4 and
ipv6 support, and this seems to cause the troubles.

The call to gnome_program_init in main sets the RES_USE_INET6 flag in
_res.options. After that all calls to gethostbyname returns an ipv6
address instead of ipv4. The function httpConnectEncrypt in libcups2
doesn't like ipv6 addresses and fails and then gnome_cups_check_daemon
in libgnomecups also fails.

One quick fix is to reset the RES_USE_INET6 flag after the call to
gnome_program_init:

   _res.options &= ~RES_USE_INET6;

Regards,
Mikael
