Bug#427617: cupsys-bsd: on upgrade remove lpr package; obscure warning.
Package: cupsys-bsd Severity: minor On two lenny computer a plain update bring in cupsys-lpd that in turn removed lpr service. Differently than usual, that is, if a previous configuration is found, this is used as a default, the default is to drop lpr service. I just get back operations by removing it and reinstalling lpr, but this could not always be the neatier solution ... -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.20-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages cupsys-bsd depends on: pn cupsys-client none (no description available) ii cupsys-common 1.2.11-2 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii debconf 1.5.13 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.5-9 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcupsys21.2.11-2 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libgnutls13 1.6.3-1the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii update-inetd 4.27-0.5 inetd.conf updater cupsys-bsd recommends no packages. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

The way dpkg works, a package removal only removes the binaries; it leaves the startup scripts and configuration files in place. If you want to purge the scripts and configuration files too, you need to manually specify -P for dpkg or --purge for APT's removal command. -- Martin-Éric Racine http://q-funk.iki.fi

Unfortunately the default is to disable LPR access so i was not able to print neither locally neither using samba. Yes, because some people consider the old BSD spooler as problematic. Enabling it simply requires answering YES to the debconf question when installing cupsys-bsd or issuing a dpkg-reconfigure cupsys-bsd to answer YES afterwards. Anyhow, running both lpr and cups on the same host is generally a bad idea. If you run cups, but still require traditional BSD printing services, installing and enabling cupsys-bsd with cups is a much better alternative. Should we close this bug? -- Martin-Éric Racine http://q-funk.iki.fi

You could, also if i would prefer that the configurator would test if a lpd is runnuing and in that case propose a different default. It would be consistent with the behaviour of other packages.
