Bug#534805: cups: permission problem with ppds.dat
Package: cups
Version: 1.3.10-2
Severity: important
I got
merom:/home/richard# tail -1 /var/log/cups/error_log
E [27/Jun/2009:12:54:21 +0200] [cups-driverd] Unable to write
"/var/cache/cups/ppds.dat" - Permission denied
after installing ghostscript-cups (printing was broken with missing
pdftoraster before that).
chmod g+rw /var/cache/cups/ppds.dat
fixed that, but why is it necessary to do this by hand?
