cupsys: error in logrotate

[Rui Matos]

I'm getting this error on logrotate since last update to cupsys on dapper:

/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
error: error running shared postrotate script for /var/log/cups/*log
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1

I can confirm this bug.

sltam@beech:~$ sudo invoke-rc.d cupsys restart
 * Restarting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd
invoke-rc.d: initscript cupsys, action "restart" failed.
sltam@beech:~$ echo $?
1
sltam@beech:~$

This is probably because start-stop daemon --stop failed to really kill cupsd,
hence start-stop-daemon --start has nothing to do, finally returning 1.

I see no reason restart does not simply call stop and then start.

This should have been fixed in

cupsys (1.1.99.b1.r4841-1ubuntu8) dapper; urgency=low

  * debian/cupsys.init.d: Remove the hideous killing hacks and just invoke
    start-stop-daemon with the correct arguments.

Please complain if you still have this problem with the current dapper packages.
