I can confirm that when trying to install cupsys 1.2.23-13 this problem still occurs, and the work around by Chris also works.
dpkg -D12 -i cupsys... gave me the folllowing D000010: ensure_pathname_nonexisting `//etc/cups/certs.dpkg-tmp' D000010: ensure_pathname_nonexisting `//etc/cups/pdftops.conf.dpkg-tmp' D000010: ensure_pathname_nonexisting `/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci' D000010: ensure_pathname_nonexisting running rm -rf D000010: ensure_pathname_nonexisting `/var/lib/dpkg/reassemble.deb' Setting up cupsys (1.1.23-13) ... D000002: fork/exec /var/lib/dpkg/info/cupsys.postinst ( configure 1.1.23-12 ) Starting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd. Before the List->Port change it stopped forever on the fork/exec line - Craig -- Craig Small GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.enc.com.au/ MIEE Debian developer csmall at : enc.com.au ieee.org debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
