Package: lpr, lprng Version: 2006.11.04, 3.8.28dfsg.1-1 Severity: important
Installing lpr (by removing lprng) will leave you with no working lpr package since /var/spool/lpd is owned daemon.lp with mode 700. It should've been lp.lp with mode 2775. Purging lprng afterwards will remove /var/spool/lpd entirely, leaving poor lpr without a spool directory at all. I assume that there are two bugs (haven't checked the code, thus writing only one bug report): 1. lpr.postinst should check the permissions of /var/spool/lpd 2. lprng.postrm should not remove /var/spool/lpd upon purge Too bad, if only 2 is fixed, reinstalling lpr won't fix the underlying problem Regards, Joey -- Still can't talk about what I can't talk about.
