I wouldn't know, I never looked there before. Right now it's drwxrwsr-t 2 root lpadmin 4096 Oct 20 15:56 /usr/share/cups/model/ but since it works most of the time (see below), I guess these are the right permissions. > If you purge cupsys-driver-gutenprint and try again, do you still get > the problem? Hmm, it depends! I ran the purge+install sequence several times, and it failed once. So I'm guessing there's some kind of race condition between the two processes (cups-genppdconfig and cups-genppd) that's hard to trigger. I don't really speak perl, so I can't say if it's even a possibility, but it certainly looks like that. Frank -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
