Bug#1120097: cups: Update overites all config files
Package: cups
Version: 2.4.10-3+deb13u1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
the update to this version yesterday overwrode all config files in /etc/cups with the default settings, so all printers except the PDF printer are lost.
Even the *.0 files had the same content.
I cannot remember apt asking me whether cups should use the default files.
If that were the case, wouldn't apt have created a backup of the previous files?
Fortunately, I had a backup.
Sincerely yours
Axel Dürrbam
