Package: cupsys
Version: 1.2.1-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
I simply cannot get cupsys to run after my upgrade to 1.2.1-2. Printing does not work, and the usual admin tools do not work either.
If I use http://localhost:631/admin, I see the error message "Unable to open cupsd.conf file: Permission denied." A quick check of /etc/cups/cupsd.conf shows it has permissions of "root" and "lpadmin." (I note that this new version of the admin page does not request a login/password.)
If I attemp to use command-line utilties to check on the printers, I get:
# lpstat
lpstat: Forbidden
and
# lpstat -t
scheduler is running
no system default destination
lpstat: Forbidden
lpstat: Forbidden
lpstat: Forbidden
lpstat: Forbidden
lpstat: Forbidden
If I use http://localhost:631/printers to view the printers, I see the printers, but with error messages such as ""/usr/lib/cups/backend/usb failed"". The printer state is stopped. I have also seen messages that complain about being unable to read the spool files in /var/spool/cups.
The port is active, at least:
# lsof -i :631
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
cupsd 12425 root 0u IPv6 1209941 TCP *:ipp (LISTEN)
cupsd 12425 root 1u IPv4 1209942 TCP *:ipp (LISTEN)
cupsd 12425 root 2u IPv4 1209943 UDP *:ipp
I tried removing my old cupsd.conf file and using the default version but that did not help. A downgrade to "stable" fails completely -- the server at port 631 doesn't even start up.
This smells like an authorization problem to me, but I can't figure out where the problem is.

This permission problem has been solved since 1.2.1-3.
