[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1108719] Please test proposed package
Hello LAZA, or anyone else affected, Accepted cups into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/1.5.3-0ubuntu8 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository. Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .

But every time i open up CUPS for configuration or something the process /usr/sbin/cupsd crashes and an crash report is generated (attached). . Xubuntu 12.04.1 Linux icafe-a 3.2.0-36-generic #57-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jan 8 21:41:24 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux CUPS Versions: 1.5.3-0ubuntu6 (/var/lib/apt/lists/de.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_precise-updates_main_binary-i386_Packages) (/var/lib/dpkg/status) BTW: I was also not able to send the bug via apport, this crashes with package not installed. [IMPACT] If on a machine (mainly servers and high-security environments) the USB is turned off in the BIOS or a very old pre-USB-era machine is used the attempt of CUPS to detect available printers makes the USB CUPS backend being called and the backend crashes then due to absense of USB . The crash itself is harmless, but it makes Apport popping up with a crash report which is annoying. [TESTCASE] Turn off the USB support completely in the BIOS setup of the machine, boot and run either lpinfo -v or sudo /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb A crash report will pop up. Close it, do not generate the actual bug report. After installing the proposed package the backend will not crash any more and so no Apport pop-up will occur. [Regression Potential] The patch is very simple and adds only an error check to handle an error on initializing libusb properly. The probability of a regression caused by this is practically zero. NOTE: As the archives for the new development cycle are not open yet I am posting this SRU proposal without a fixed package in the new development branch. The fix is committed to Debian's GIT repo of CUPS though and so it will appear in the new development cycle with the first sync of the cups package.
