Michel (mikenavy) - That is the point I was making, which may explain
why "some users are encountering the configuration errors after
installing the security update, and some aren't".  It may be that the
offending configuration entries (JobPrivateAccess, JobPrivateValues,
etc) may have been introduced with some unrelated update in the past,
but were never detected because of the "hole" in the CUPS code that this
recent security update patched.

If some users somehow avoided whatever originally corrupted the config
file, they, of course, won't have any issues after installing the latest
CUPS update (whether in Ubuntu or a derivative OS like Mint).
