Description Tom London 2009-05-02 17:34:58 UTC
Description of problem:
Notice files like those below "hanging around" in /tmp:

lrwxrwxrwx. 1 tbl  tbl      34 2009-04-25 11:08 49f3518a1d219 -> /etc/cups/ppd/HP-LaserJet-5MP2.ppd
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 tbl  tbl      34 2009-05-01 16:56 49fb8c3cb1e04 -> /etc/cups/ppd/KyoceraFS-CN5030.ppd

Not sure who creates them, but shouldn't they clean up after themselves?

Appears that the names selected will not get "cleaned up" on reboots.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cups-libs-1.4-0.b2.15.fc11.x86_64
cups-1.4-0.b2.15.fc11.x86_64

Comment 7 Tom London 2009-06-22 18:00:23 UTC
I believe I'm still seeing files in /tmp.

I'm running system-config-printer-1.1.8-1.fc12.x86_64.

[root@tlondon ~]# ls -l /tmp/4*
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 33 2009-06-21 16:33 /tmp/4a3ec32fcb0d5 -> /etc/cups/ppd/HP-LaserJet-5MP.ppd
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 34 2009-06-22 08:31 /tmp/4a3fa3ba0f332 -> /etc/cups/ppd/hp-LaserJet-1300.ppd
[root@tlondon ~]#

Comment 8 Tim Waugh 2009-06-23 10:54:54 UTC
These symlinks may be made by another application using the libcups API but not cleaning up after itself.  Are you able to determine a sequence of steps that will cause one of these symlinks to be left around after using system-config-printer and exiting it?

Comment 9 Tom London 2009-06-23 13:26:57 UTC
Sigh.  After removing the /tmp/4* files, my first attempts to reproduce failed.

I'll probe more later today.

If I can't reproduce, I'll chalk this up to strangeness on my part.
