From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030530 Description of problem: the %post scection of foomatic runs a /usr/sbin/printconf-backend --force-rebuild this will destroy any hand edited changes to /etc/cups/cupsd.conf /etc/cups/printers.conf and custom edited ppd files in /etc/cups/ppd. There's not even a backup of the original files. We've been using cups since before its inclusion in redhat, thus all our cups config files are hand written. For some printers we're using custom ppd files. I've now deinstalled reshat-config-printer to ward against this happening again. Possibly this bug should have been filed against redhat-config-printer or alchemist. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): foomatic-2.0.2-15.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade foomatic: rpm -U foomatic-2.0.2-15.1.i386.rpm Actual Results: all changes to cups configuration files destroyed. /etc/cupsd.conf and /etc/cups/printers.conf replaced by defaults. Extra ppd files in /etc/cups/ppd deleted Expected Results: cups config files not generated by redhat-config-printer should be left untouched. At the very least a backup of the origiinal config file should have been generated. Additional info:
