 Hi Fabio

At the moment, I have the package installed.

The first time I tried the update with 'apt-get upgrade', it hung on 'cups
stop'. I killed the process, and apt continued, complaining it did not
install everything.

I then stopped cups manually, and tried the upgrade again. This time it hung
on 'cups start'. I again killed the hung process, and apt finished the
install.

At the moment, I'm unable to start or stop cupsd, since it hangs on 'start
cups'. Since the init.d script now instructs to use start and stop
(initclt)... I'm stuck

I've just re-installed all cups related pkgs, with the same result. apt-get
hungs on 'start cups'. If I kill 'start cups', apt-get continues and reaches
the re-install job batch with success.

How can I debug why is this hanging? initctl and cupsd have no debug
options...

Thks for your help.

Daniel

Forget my obviously lunatic ranting about cups...

The problem with cups is real, but not related to this bug.

Sorry
