Bug#905764: cups-browsed: restarting always generates log message "Error creating cups notify handler: Could not connect: No such file or directory"
Package: cups-browsed
Version: 1.20.4-1
Severity: minor
This is basically a fresh install of stable. Every day, after the cups
logrotate where cups is restarted, cups-browsed is also restarted by
systemd. Upon stopping, cups-browsed generates this log message:
cups-browsed[7468]: Error creating cups notify handler: Could not connect: No such file or directory
This happened with the stable 1.11.6-3 version, and also with 1.20.4-1
which I tried to see if the problem might have been solved in the
meantime.
I find it strange that the message only comes when cups-browsed is
stopped.
I probably don't need cups-browsed in my environment, so I might as well
deinstall it, but IMHO it shouldn't be generating such messages without
any indication how to fix it.
Seeing that avahi-daemon is recommended, I tried installing that and
that fixed it. However as it's not a hard dependency, cups-browsed
should function without avahi-daemon installed.
Thanks,
Paul
