[Bug 92042] Re: cupsys in feisty doesn't put any backends into /usr/lib/cups/backend/
Thank you for fixing this. I still had the problem after today's updates, running version 1.2.8-0ubuntu8 and was manually symlinking the backends from /usr/lib/cups/backend-available -- /usr/lib/cups/backend. I took Walter's advice and purged cupsys then reinstalled it, and can confrim it is fixed. -- cupsys in feisty doesn't put any backends into /usr/lib/cups/backend/ https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/92042 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 92042] Re: cupsys in feisty doesn't put any backends into /usr/lib/cups/backend/
The update to version 1.2.8-0ubuntu4 did not work with respect to adding more backends albeit I now see beh but it's not a softlink to anything---part of the foomatic-filters package. Perhaps I need to remove and install rather than merely update? debconf-show cupsys * cupsys/raw-print: true * cupsys/backend: ipp, lpd, parallel, scsi, serial, socket, usb, snmp which should imply they are getting put in but to no avail perhaps someone is confusing backend-available with backend -- cupsys in feisty doesn't put any backends into /usr/lib/cups/backend/ https://launchpad.net/bugs/92042 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

If a simple update does not recreate the files in /usr/lib/cups/backend, do sudo dpkg-reconfigure cupsys and change one of the backend choices, then do sudo dpkg-reconfigure cupsys again and change this backend choice back.

Already tried dpkg-reconfigure cupsys as root. No go.
I think there may be
a syntax error in the cupsys.postinst script.
Is there a way to
run the script properly i.e., tell dpkg to run it in a verbose
manner?
If you noticed, (I put the output of set -x in it)
when I ran the script directly it does give a syntax error message that
may or may not be due to the fact that I ran it directly which may well
be incorrect.
Here is the output of dpkg-reconfigure after (by putting in set -x in
the postinst script of cupsys):

Ok. I now made a change in that I removed the serial backend as
one of the choices and it now makes all the other links. The problem
appears to the that the RET=true value where as previously if one
makes No changes from the defaults as provided by the package
when first installed it does not put in any links.
In short making an actual change from the defaults as provided by
the package when one first installs it NO links are put inclearly
something is wrong with the RET test being set to false if no change
is made which I suppose is correct but when the package first gets installed
it should check to see if anything was installed
Here is the successful log of installing links (only happens when I made
a change that I didn't want to.
