Package: lpr Version: 1:2003.09.23-7S Severity: normal
lpd fails to start on a read-only root filesystem system because it cannot create /dev/printer socket. There are two possible ways to fix this bug: 1. To change the default location of the control socket, for example, to /var/run/printer, which is used in NetBSD. 2. Add a new option for lpd that will allow to specify different location for this socket. In this case, anyone who uses a read-only filesystem will able to specify different location for this socket and make /dev/printer as a symbol link to this location. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.11.6 Locale: LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages lpr depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii netbase 4.21 Basic TCP/IP networking system -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
