Bug Description

After upgrading from Ubuntu Hoary 5.04 to Breezy 5.10 cupsd crashes when starting.
I set in cupsd.conf LogLevel debug6762 and start /etc/init.d/cupsys start

In /var/log/cups/error.log I find:

That really seems to be the problem. However, /var/run/cups should be owned by cupsys:lpadmin. Do you have any idea why it isn't for you?

Do you still have this problem with the latest Dapper? What is

  ls -ld /var/run/cups

and

  ls -l /var/run/cups

for you?

No answer for a month and lacking information. Dapper has a new version of cupsys with many fixes.

Please reopen this bug if you still encounter this. Thank you!
