I'm pretty sure that it's not a bug in cups-pdf but a bug in the
AppArmor configuration for cups-pdf.
Workaround (and proof that it's an AppArmor configuration issue):
open the file /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.cupsd
and edit the line:
/usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf {
in order to get:
/usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf flags=(complain) {
restart AppArmor with 'sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor restart'
CUPS-PDF works again, QED!
As far as I understand it, the workaround removes the protection around
cups-pdf, someone with more knowledge can probably fix the config file
in a more sensitive manner.
As the file /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.cupsd comes with the 'cups'
package, this bug should be reassigned.
Hope this helps, Eric
