Package: cups Version: 1.5.3-5 Severity: normal [Same as closed Bug#463752 on former cupsys-client package]
I misinterpreted this statement in the manpage for lpoptions: When run by the root user, lpoptions gets and sets default options and instances for all users in the /etc/cups/lpoptions file. I thought that, if root uses lpoptions, those options apply to the user ids listed in /etc/cups/lpoptions. A few other packages that have that kind of behavior, although I admit that it's not common. When I looked at the lpoptions file itself, I realized what the manpage meant. To clarify, perhaps the man page should read: When run by the root user, lpoptions gets and sets default options and instances for all users, storing the data in the /etc/cups/lpoptions file. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.8-2-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages cups depends on: ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii bc 1.06.95-6 ii cups-client 1.5.3-5 ii cups-common 1.5.3-5 ii cups-filters 1.0.18-2.1 ii cups-ppdc 1.5.3-5 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.50 ii dpkg 1.16.10 ii ghostscript 9.05~dfsg-6.3 ii libavahi-client3 0.6.31-2 ii libavahi-common3 0.6.31-2 ii libc-bin 2.17-3 ii libc6 2.17-3 ii libcups2 1.5.3-5 ii libcupscgi1 1.5.3-5 ii libcupsimage2 1.5.3-5 ii libcupsmime1 1.5.3-5 ii libcupsppdc1 1.5.3-5 ii libdbus-1-3 1.6.10-1 ii libgcc1 1:4.8.0-7 ii libgnutls26 2.12.20-6 ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.10.1+dfsg-5 ii libkrb5-3 1.10.1+dfsg-5 ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.31-1+nmu2 ii libpam0g 1.1.3-9 ii libpaper1 1.1.24+nmu2 ii libslp1 1.2.1-9 ii libstdc++6 4.8.0-7 ii libusb-1.0-0 2:1.0.15-1 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian11 ii poppler-utils 0.18.4-6 ii procps 1:3.3.4-2 ii ssl-cert 1.0.32 Versions of packages cups recommends: ii avahi-daemon 0.6.31-2 ii colord 0.1.21-4 ii foomatic-filters 4.0.17-1 ii ghostscript-cups 9.05~dfsg-6.3 ii printer-driver-gutenprint 5.2.9-1 Versions of packages cups suggests: ii cups-bsd 1.5.3-5 ii cups-pdf 2.6.1-9 ii foomatic-db 20130517-1 ii hplip 3.13.4-1 ii printer-driver-hpcups 3.13.4-1 ii smbclient 2:3.6.15-1 ii udev 175-7.2 -- debconf information: cupsys/raw-print: true cupsys/backend: ipp, ipp14, lpd, socket, usb, snmp, dnssd -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-printing-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
