Mike Sweet (upstream author of CUPS) did not accept your suggestion for two times now. As we do not want to have maintenance nightmares with an overpatched CUPS (or any other overpatched packages) we try to keep the packages as close as possible to upstream and therefore we will not implement your suggestion by a Ubuntu-specific patch.
Therefore I am closing this bug with "Won't fix" now. ** Changed in: cups (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Won't Fix ** Changed in: cups Status: New => Invalid -- FHS violation? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/301594 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
