Package: cups-browsed Version: 1.0.34-2 Severity: normal when using the cups 1.6 mdns discovery in a setup where a server announces itself as "servername.local", a client's cups browser can find the server, but upon printing, gtk applications get stuck at the "getting printer information" stage (the printer is shown, but it can not be printed to due to disabled print button).
network traffic analysis showed that the client repeatedly tried to look up "servername.local" using traditional dns, which of course failed. installing libnss-mdns solved the problem; i therefore ask you to depend or at least recommend libnss-mdns from cups-browsed. given the browser discovers hosts based on mdns and passes their host names on to cups (which later one way or another will have to resolve them), i think a "depends" is justified, but a "recommends" probably can be argued for too. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.8-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages cups-browsed depends on: ii cups 1.6.2-8 ii libavahi-client3 0.6.31-2 ii libavahi-common3 0.6.31-2 ii libavahi-glib1 0.6.31-2 ii libc6 2.17-4 ii libcups2 1.6.2-8 ii libglib2.0-0 2.36.1-2build1 cups-browsed recommends no packages. cups-browsed suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To use raw power is to make yourself infinitely vulnerable to greater powers. -- Bene Gesserit axiom
