Package: cupsys
Version: 1.1.19candidate4-1
Severity: minor

Thanks for moving printcap.cups out of /etc !

After installing the latest cupsys, printcap.cups is under /var/run/cups/
but /etc/printcap.cups is still there.  Should be deleted for the sake of
tidiness?

IMHO this is sufficiently solved with nowaday's cups packages. The
postinst does

        # Manage printcap file and associated symlinks
        if [ -e /etc/cups/cupsd.conf ]; then
            if [ -e /etc/printcap.cups ]; then
                rm -f /etc/printcap.cups
            fi
            if [ -L /etc/printcap -a ! -e /etc/printcap ]; then
                rm -f /etc/printcap
            fi

            printcap_file=`egrep '^Printcap ' /etc/cups/cupsd.conf | awk '{print $2}'`
            if [ "$printcap_file" != "" ]; then
                touch $printcap_file 2>/dev/null || true
                if [ ! -e /etc/printcap -a -e $printcap_file ]; then
                    ln -s $printcap_file /etc/printcap
                fi
            fi
        fi

I. e. it removes the old printcap.cups and only sets a symlink to the
real printcap if configured to do so in cupsd.conf.

Thus I close this bug now.
