Perhaps if more people reported it as affecting them, it will receive some attention. As to the bug, get several notifications at startup that cupsd has crashed, then I receive no more notifications throughout the day & printing works fine. It is more that a little disconcerting that this is marked as a security bug and has been open for 10 months, now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1442169 Title: cupsd crashed with SIGSEGV in avahi_entry_group_free() Status in cups package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: ....
