Bug#1121660: lpr: Error - /etc/cups/lpoptions file names default destination that does not exist

["Kingsley G. Morse Jr." <kingsley@loaner.com>]

Package: cups-daemon
Version: 2.4.15-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Thanks for maintaining cups.

I think it's important.

The main reasons I'm writing are to report

    1.) upgrading cups-daemon from version
        2.4.14-1 to 2.4.15-1 broke my printer.

        The command

             user$ lpr file.pdf

        failed with

            lpr: Error - /etc/cups/lpoptions file names default destination that does not exist.

        Doing

            root$ cupsd -t

        gave

            Unknown directive BrowseAddress on line 8 of /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.
            "/etc/cups/cupsd.conf" contains errors.

        The 8th line of

            /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

        was

             BrowseAddress @LOCAL

        The man page for cupsd.conf didn't list
        BrowseAddress as a valid directive.


    2.) I

            commented out "BrowseAddress @LOCAL"
            and did

            root:~ systemctl restart cups


Now I can print again.

I don't recall being asked while upgrading
cups-daemon if I wanted to

    keep or

    replace

my current /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file.

I wonder if something like an install script has a
bug.

Kind regards,
Kingsley
