cups suddenly stopped working

[Rick Pasotto <rick@niof.net>]

Running testing with daily updates.

I've been happily printing for many months but just yesterday cups
stopped. The error log says that there is no classes.conf file and
attempts to restart the daemon show a failure status of 98. Where
could it have gone and how do I regenerate it? Do I have to reinstall
cups from scratch?
