Bug Description

Binary package hint: cups

Hello,

in /etc/init.d/cups it writes to /usr hierarchy, as fas as I understood violating FHS.
     chown root:lpadmin /usr/share/ppd/custom 2>/dev/null || true
     chmod 3775 /usr/share/ppd/custom 2>/dev/null || true
Don't know if at runtime write access is necessary, but that directory should then moved to /var

$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu karmic (development branch)
Release: 9.10
$ LANG= apt-cache policy cups
cups:
  Installed: 1.3.10-5
  Candidate: 1.3.10-5
  Version table:
 *** 1.3.10-5 0
        500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

This is the only package I have seen, writing unattended to /usr

Best regards,

  Roland "Test-tools" Bär
