Bug#989306: cups-filters: parallel port modules force included on ARM kernels
Package: cups-filters
Version: 1.21.6-5
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
The file /etc/modules-load.d/cups.conf contains invocations to load
modules lp, ppdev, and parport_pc, which are unavailable on the latest
arm64 kernels in Debian 10, and will likely remain so forever, at least
parport_pc, because ARM systems do not have PC parallel ports. This
results in systemd-load-modules.service reporting failure every boot.
The fix is only including this file on architectures where those kernel
modules are meaningful. This is a very old bug and appears to be a
regression, since it was known at least as far back as 2015 by the
Ubuntu maintainers.
