Package: cupsys
Version: 1.3.0-3
Severity: important
Beginning with 1.3, the cupsys packages have been writing out to
/etc/printcap instead of to /var/run/cups/printcap. This seems to be
unintentional, a result of a wrong assumption about upstream defaulting
to the /var/run path now; at least that's what's suggested by the changelog:
* Drop 67_printcap.dpatch: /var/run/cups/printcap is now the implicit
default upstream.
The printcap generated by cupsys is not configuration data, and writing it
to /etc/printcap possibly overwrites locally-created printcaps intended for
use with other print systems; indeed, this seems to have happened on at
least one of my systems. Please move this back to /var/run.

Changes:
cupsys (1.3.4-2) unstable; urgency=low
.
[ Kenshi Muto ]
* Bumps up shlibs to 1.3.4.
.
[ Martin Pitt ]
* debian/control: Remove gs-esp alternative dependency, it's just
"ghostscript" nowadays.
* debian/control: Slightly bump the C/R: for -common; it's a pointless delta
to Ubuntu and it doesn't hurt us.
* debian/cupsys-bsd.postinst: Symlink cupsys-bsd's doc directory to
cupsys-common's, not cupsys', since the latter is not a dependency.
* debian/control: Demote cups-pdf from Recommends: to Suggests: to match the
semantics (apt installs recommends by default now).
* debian/cupsys.init.d: Add LSB header, thanks to Petter Reinholdtsen!
(closes: #337640)
* debian/rules: Configure with default printcap in /var/run/cups/.
(closes: #452446)
.
[ Till Kamppeter ]
* Add debian/local/backends/dnssd: Printer discovery backend for
several cheaper printers, like the HP Color LaserJet 2600n, are not
discovered by the "snmp" backend. In addition, this backend extracts more
info from the printers than the "snmp" backend, like for example available
page description languages. This leads to better driver choices for
unknown printer models.
* debian/cupsys.install, debian/cupsys.{prerm,postinst,templates,rules}:
Install new backend.
* debian/control: Add Recommends: to avahi-utils; if it is installed, the
dnssd backend can actually work.
* debian/postinst: Activate new backends (since Etch) by default on
upgrades. This affects snmp, scsi, serial, and dnssd.
