Just to clarify why this bug has so many me-too votes: the bug happened once to me, during an update, and never happened again (i.e. it fixed itself, and I can print just fine, etc.). I subscribed to this thread because I was curious as to what was going on, and I did see the problem myself once but the bug doesn't have any ongoing effect on me and I can't reproduce it.
I suspect that the majority of the people who have confirmed the bug are in the same boat, whereas some people here have the issue recurring for some reason. (It's unclear why; either there's something relevantly different about their configuration, or this is actually two different bugs with the same symptoms.) So although there are a lot of people here, I suspect rather fewer people are in a position to test the fix; I can't reproduce the bug, and thus there's no point in me testing the fix, as a working fix would look the same as a fix that had no effect at all. Would it be reasonable for people in my position to retract our confirmations of the bug, if we can no longer reproduce? Or is it best to leave the confirmation there, because I definitely did see the bug happen, once? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1642966 Title: package cups-daemon 2.1.3-4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1642966/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
