Package: cupsys Version: 1.1.23-15 Severity: normal
>From the web interface, when I try to run "Configure Printer", I get "Error: server-error-internal-error". The error logs don't provide any information about the cause of the trouble, even at LogLevel debug2. To make a long story short, I found that this problem is caused by the following combination of events: (1) root exports environment variable TMPDIR=/tmp/root (2) root runs /etc/init.d/cupsys restart (3) A non-root user (in the lpadmin group), who can't read or write $TMPDIR, signs onto the web interface and tries to run "Configure Printer" If root unsets TMPDIR and restarts cupsd, the problem goes away. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (300, 'unstable'), (200, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages cupsys depends on: ii adduser 3.85 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.72 Debian configuration management sy ii gs-esp 8.15.1.dfsg.1-2 The Ghostscript PostScript interpr ii libc6 2.3.6-3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcupsimage2 1.1.23-15 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libcupsys2 1.1.23-15 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libgnutls12 1.2.9-2 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libpam0g 0.79-3.1 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpaper1 1.1.14-7 Library for handling paper charact ii libslp1 1.2.1-5 OpenSLP libraries ii patch 2.5.9-4 Apply a diff file to an original ii perl-modules 5.8.8-4 Core Perl modules ii procps 1:3.2.6-2.1 /proc file system utilities ii xpdf-utils 3.01-7 Portable Document Format (PDF) sui ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-11 compression library - runtime Versions of packages cupsys recommends: ii cupsys-client 1.1.23-15 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii foomatic-filters 3.0.2-20060318-2 linuxprinting.org printer support pn smbclient <none> (no description available) -- debconf information: cupsys/raw-print: true cupsys/browse: true cupsys/ports: 631 cupsys/backend: ipp, lpd, parallel, socket, usb cupsys/portserror: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
