Dear Maintainer,
After the last update (3.0.1-11), in /var/log/error_log appears:
E [26/Sep/2021:11:36:19 +0200] [cups-driverd] Bad driver information file
\"/usr/share/cups/drv/indexbraille-filter.defs\"!
E [26/Sep/2021:11:36:19 +0200] [cups-driverd] Bad driver information file
\"/usr/share/cups/drv/indexbraille-media.defs\"!
Why is bad? Since I don't know, I look at the following.
(1) All ".defs" files of cups are in /usr/share/cups/ppdc/, except those two:
/usr/share/cups/drv/indexbraille-filter.defs
/usr/share/cups/drv/indexbraille-media.defs
/usr/share/cups/ppdc/braille.defs
/usr/share/cups/ppdc/font.defs
/usr/share/cups/ppdc/imagemagick.defs
/usr/share/cups/ppdc/index.defs
/usr/share/cups/ppdc/liblouis1.defs
/usr/share/cups/ppdc/liblouis2.defs
/usr/share/cups/ppdc/liblouis3.defs
/usr/share/cups/ppdc/liblouis4.defs
/usr/share/cups/ppdc/liblouis.defs
/usr/share/cups/ppdc/media-braille.defs
/usr/share/cups/ppdc/media.defs
/usr/share/cups/ppdc/raster.defs
(2) All "#include" lines show the file between <>, except for
/usr/share/cups/drv/indexbraille.drv which is between "".
/usr/share/cups/drv/brlaser.drv:#include <font.defs>
/usr/share/cups/drv/brlaser.drv:#include <media.defs>
. . .
/usr/share/cups/drv/indexbraille.drv: #include "indexbraille-filter.defs"
/usr/share/cups/drv/indexbraille.drv: #include "indexbraille-media.defs"
. . .
/usr/share/cups/drv/sample.drv:#include <epson.h>
/usr/share/cups/drv/sample.drv:#include <hp.h>
/usr/share/cups/drv/sample.drv:#include <label.h>
>From the above two points, I do the following to test:
(A) Move those .defs files from drv to ppdc with this command:
mv -v /usr/share/cups/drv/indexbraille*.defs /usr/share/cups/ppdc/
renamed '/usr/share/cups/drv/indexbraille-filter.defs' ->
'/usr/share/cups/ppdc/indexbraille-filter.defs'
renamed '/usr/share/cups/drv/indexbraille-media.defs' ->
'/usr/share/cups/ppdc/indexbraille-media.defs'
(B) Modify indexbraille.drv to change "" by <> with this command:
sed -i \
-e '/#include/s/"/</' \
-e '/#include/s/"/>/' \
/usr/share/cups/drv/indexbraille.drv
grep include /usr/share/cups/drv/indexbraille.drv
#include <media.defs>
#include <indexbraille-media.defs>
#include <indexbraille-filter.defs>
#include <indexbraille-media.defs>
#include <indexbraille-filter.defs>
#include <indexbraille-media.defs>
#include <indexbraille-filter.defs>
#include <indexbraille-media.defs>
#include <indexbraille-filter.defs>
#include <indexbraille-media.defs>
#include <indexbraille-filter.defs>
After reset, no message on error_log. Seems to work!
Do you consider what I have done to be correct?
If this is the solution, perhaps this bug should be reassigned to package
printer-driver-indexbraille, to which these two files belong:
$ sudo apt-file search indexbraille-filter.defs
printer-driver-indexbraille: /usr/share/cups/drv/indexbraille-filter.defs
$ sudo apt-file search indexbraille-media.defs
printer-driver-indexbraille: /usr/share/cups/drv/indexbraille-media.defs
Thanks in advance.
