Task: ubuntu cupsys
         Status: Confirmed => Fix Released

Comment:
 cupsys (1.1.99.b1.r4929-0ubuntu3) dapper; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/rules: Do not install dangling pdftops.conf symlink. (Malone #26785)
   * debian/cupsys.preinst: Remove a dangling pdftops.conf symlink on upgrades
     to this version.
   * debian/cupsys.postinst: Add cupsys to group 'scanner' to be able to access
     printer/scanner combined devices. (Malone #29050)
   * debian/patches/44_fixconfdirperms.dpatch: Make /etc/cups/ppd group
     writable. (Malone #31533)
   * debian/cupsys.init.d: Make sure that page_log exists with the right
     permissions. (Malone #33409)
   * Add debian/patches/51_dont_log_ipp_printer_query.dpatch: Do not flood
     access_log with successful CUPS-Get-Printers and Get-Printer-Attributes
     queries (which are generated by gnome-cups-icon every 3 seconds). This is
     a hideous and hackish patch, but it has to do until we dbusify cupsys
     properly. (Malone #29895)
