Package: cups-pdf
Version: 2.2.0-1
Severity: important
As delivered, cups-pdf will not work on Cups > 1.2.0 because of the permissions
of the back end.
Per documentation at:
http://www.physik.uni-wuerzburg.de/~vrbehr/cups-pdf/
I note the following:
> *** Starting with version 1.2.0 CUPS implements the "RunAsOption" no longer.
> In order to ensure CUPS-PDF is running with the required root privileges you
> have to make 'root' the owner of the cups-pdf backend and set the file
> permissions of the backend to 0700 (root only).
The delivered backend, /usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf, is owned by root but has
permissions rwxr-xr-x, leading to messages of the form:
[Job 5] cups-pdf cannot be called without root privileges!
..in /var/log/cups/error_log
The fix is to add the command:
chmod 0700 /usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf
...to the packages postinst if it's being installed alongside cupsys > 1.2.0
