Bug#548255: cups: Upgrade to 1.3.10 or later fails to highlight change to default hostname lookup behaviour
Package: cups
Version: 1.3.11-1+b1
Severity: normal
According to /usr/share/doc/cups/changelog.gz, version 1.3.10 changed
the default hostname lookup behaviour, from performing hostname lookups
to not performing them. If your /etc/cupsd.conf relies on them (e.g.
with Allow *.localnet), and you choose to leave it unchanged during the
package upgrade, your entire network suddenly becomes unable to print or
connect to the http://server.localnet:631 interface.
The new package should issue a debconf warning about this change - or
at the very least the HostName Lookup option should be added to the new
cupsd.conf.dpkg-dist to show the new default value, with a comment
warning that this is different from the old default value.
Regards,
CC
