RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Hi All,

I am coming from the community: Scientific Linux 7.1.

# yum whatprovides cups-lpd
Loaded plugins: langpacks
1:cups-lpd-1.6.3-17.el7.x86_64 : CUPS printing system - lpd emulation
Repo        : sl


Bug #1:

# rpm -qa cups-lpd
cups-lpd-1.6.3-17.el7_1.1.x86_64

is missing the dependency: 

# rpm -qa xinetd
xinetd-2.3.15-12.el7.x86_64

You can't use cups-lpd without it.



Bug #2:
the installer of cups-lpd forgets to add the following entry into /etc/xinetd.d

$ more cups-lpd

# default: off
# description: Allow applications using the legacy lpd protocol to communicate w
ith CUPS
service printer
{
	disable = no
	socket_type = stream
	protocol = tcp
	wait = no
	user = lp
	server = /usr/lib/cups/daemon/cups-lpd
}


Many thanks,
-T

We converted cups-lpd xinetd service to systemd, see bug #884641 for more details.

Hi Jiri,

Would you consider adding these two command to the post install script?

# systemctl enable cups-lpd.socket
# systemctl start cups-lpd.socket

Many thanks,
-T

No, sorry.
We'd need an exception for this and I'm not sure we really need it.

In that case, how about putting something in the cup-lpd man page so folks won't have to rely on the charity of others to figure out how to start the buzzard?

Created attachment 1087468 [details]
updated cups-lpd-manpage.patch

Man page patch looks great.
