We have since fixed a few issues in the postinst script and the
generator/update utilities, though I'm not sure if they should affect
this bug.  I still can't reproduce it myself, so I would be grateful
if you could try to reproduce this failure with the new version
(4.3.99+cvs20060521-2).


Thanks,
Roger

Hi. Sorry for the delay.

As it happens, I had to switch computers due to a hardware failure and
installed a new one less than 2 weeks ago. I haven't reproduced the
problem on the new one with 4.3.99+cvs20060521-4, so either the bug is
fixed or I can't trigger it anymore. Hopefully it's fixed :-)

Thanks, Frank

They are created automatically.  I can't reproduce this either on a
live unstable system or in a clean chroot.

It couldn't create the file.  Did /usr/share/cups/model have odd
owenership or permissions beforehand?

If you purge cupsys-driver-gutenprint and try again, do you still get
the problem?

Roger

I wouldn't know, I never looked there before. Right now it's
drwxrwsr-t  2 root lpadmin 4096 Oct 20 15:56 /usr/share/cups/model/
but since it works most of the time (see below), I guess these are the
right permissions.

Hmm, it depends! I ran the purge+install sequence several times, and it
failed once. So I'm guessing there's some kind of race condition between
the two processes (cups-genppdconfig and cups-genppd) that's hard to
trigger. I don't really speak perl, so I can't say if it's even a
possibility, but it certainly looks like that.

Hello,

first of all: thanks for your response (and sorry for me taking so long 
to respond myself). But as I don't have that much experience using 
Linux, I've still got some questions:




The first run of apt-get install cupsys-driver-gutenprint does not
correctly installs it, but it's fixed by running apt-get -f install
afterwards.

Maybe the /usr/share/cups/model/gutenprint/5.0/en is not created before
the files are created there?



The thing is, that I'm still using gimpprint (which is the pre-version 
of gutenprint, isn't it?)...




[...]

-- System Information:
Debian Release: testing/unstable


... but I do not want to set the entire system testing/unstable to 
install gutenprint (it is running stable). Is there a way to set it 
testing for just this one package in sources.list?

Same here on a Digital Alphastation 500/500 
running Testing when upgrading form gimpprint to gutenprint:

Tried to purge and reinstall it or fix it with -f -- every time the same.

Looking after that into /usr/share/cups/model 
showed me that a directory named "gutenprint" 
exists but nothing in it (no 5.0/en/...).


The update on an Athlon machine also running Testing worked without problems.

Seems to be a multitasking problem as somebody 
else. The Alpha machine is a lot slower than the Athlon one.

Maybe the /usr/share/cups/model/gutenprint/5.0/en is not created before
the files are created there?
