Re: Bug#614713: Re-open: cups-pdf: installation asks for a password

Hi *,


> How about now? :)

thanks for your patience :)


I can confirm Didier's steps to "work" under jessie and sid, however it
takes ages for lpstat, lpadmin, cupsenable et al to timeout (the overal
postinst run took several minutes). I didn't dig very deep into this
this time, but at least the password queries are gone and unattended
builds would work again with this.

Guessing it's a tad late for this to make it into the upcoming point
release... How do you want to proceed? Get it fixed in wheezy in the
first place? If so I could come up with a patch some time in January.

Cheers
