Rolf, the problem described in this bug report is that when uninstalling (purging) the cups-pdf package, the existing cups-pdf CUPS queues are not removed and stray non-functional, as they need the CUPS backend which comes with the cups-pdf package. The proposed fix is a correction in the postrm script of the package so that the queues are actually removed.
For before-and-after testing, uninstall the cups-pdf package before updating and check whether the cups-pdf queues go away. Then install the new cups-pdf package (which auto-creates one queue, but you can add more for your testing) and then uninstall the new package again. Check again whether the cups-pdf queues go away. To determine whether you have cups-pdf queues or not, run the command lpstat -v | grep cups-pdf: as described in comment #23. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/573667 Title: Backend /usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf does not exist To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups-pdf/+bug/573667/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
