Package: cups-client
Version: 1.7.5-11
Severity: normal
On Jessie (cups 1.7.5-11) creation of a print queue with -m results in
the PPD having permissions 640.
root@gnome-jessie:~# lpadmin -p perms -v file:/home/brian/test.ps -E -m
postscript-hp:0/ppd/hplip/HP/hp-business_inkjet_2250-ps.ppd
root@gnome-jessie:~# ls -l /etc/cups/ppd/perms.ppd
-rw-r----- 1 root lp 64033 May 4 19:24 /etc/cups/ppd/perms.ppd
We'll tweak the queue. The permissions of the PPD are unchanged.
root@gnome-jessie:~# lpadmin -p perms -v file:/home/brian/test.ps -E -o
PageSize=A4 -m postscript-hp:0/ppd/hplip/HP/hp-business_inkjet_2250-ps.ppd
root@gnome-jessie:~# ls -l /etc/cups/ppd/perms.ppd
-rw-r----- 1 root lp 64041 May 4 19:26 /etc/cups/ppd/perms.ppd
-rw-r----- 1 root lp 64033 May 4 19:24 /etc/cups/ppd/perms.ppd.O
Another alteration to the queue. This sees the PPD file permissions
alter.
root@gnome-jessie:~# lpadmin -p perms -v file:/home/brian/test.ps -E -o
PageSize=A4 -o booklet -m
postscript-hp:0/ppd/hplip/HP/hp-business_inkjet_2250-ps.ppd
root@gnome-jessie:~# ls -l /etc/cups/ppd/perms*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root lp 64033 May 4 19:34 /etc/cups/ppd/perms.ppd
-rw-r----- 1 root lp 64033 May 4 19:24 /etc/cups/ppd/perms.ppd.O
How does the -P option perform after deleting the queue and starting
again?
root@gnome-jessie:~# lpadmin -p perms -v file:/home/brian/test.ps -E -P
/home/brian/lj400.ppd
root@gnome-jessie:~# ls -l /etc/cups/ppd/perms*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 68925 May 4 19:40 /etc/cups/ppd/perms.ppd
Adding the previous two options in consecutive reinstallations as before
sees the established permission on the PPD unchanged at 644.
I could live with 640 or 644 (the latter, for preference) but it would be
nice for lpadmin to give a consistent outcome when queues are installed
or reinstalled.
This behaviour seems related to STR: #4500 and #764253.
Regards,
Brian.

Hi Brian,
in cases where a bug is fixed from a version on, the canonical way is to
mail ###[email protected] with a "Version: " pseudo-header. The
'found' and 'notfound' are more to indicate affected and unaffected
versions earlier than the "biggest version in which this bug is
considered completely fixed.
I hope it's clearer. :-)
Thanks, and cheers,
