Bug#425944: "cupsdCallPamAuthHelper" is a Debian bug!
This certainly is not a CUPS upstream bug. CUPS proper does not have a
function called "cupsdCallPamAuthHelper".
This is a bug introduced by the Debian/Ubuntu way of patching CUPS, and
with that sh**load of patches effectively forking CUPS, for no good
reason.
@Debian's CUPS-Patchers: What about properly closing the pipes again
your (seetuid root!) helper utility opened?
I'm still failing to see where the printing and CUPS-related wisdom of
the Debian packagers is superior to the one living in the brains of the
CUPS upstream developers.
