Thank you for your suggestions. I think I found the problem. Besides messagebus I was also starting cupsd (bad bad me for not including all the details). When I start messagebus before cupsd, i.e. "pkg_scripts=messagebus cupsd". it doesn't work. However, when I start cupsd before messagebus, i.e. "pkg_scripts=cupsd messagebus", it does work. The strange thing is that the problem only seem to be with cupsd, since when I use "pkg_scripts=cupsd messagebus postgresql" it still works. Anyway starting cupsd before messagebus fixes the problem. Kind regards, Martijn Rijkeboer
