Description of problem: Finding a lot of symlinks in the /tmp dir such as: lrwxrwxrwx 1 uuuuu ggggg 23 Apr 13 09:07 4bc41844afe15 -> /etc/cups/ppd/e120n.ppd lrwxrwxrwx 1 uuuuu ggggg 20 Apr 13 09:07 4bc418453d9c3 -> /etc/cups/ppd/kc.ppd (uuuuu/ggggg are usernames/groupnames of real users, e120n and kc are printers). I don't know which system component creates such symlinks, and I don't know if this is a bug. But it bothers me. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cups-1.4.2-34.fc13.i686 How reproducible: I dn't know. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Don't know how to reproduce. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
You need to find out which application is failing to clean up these symlinks. It is expected that using libcups will create them, but it is up to the application to remove them when it is done with them. Acroread is known to leave these files lying around, for instance, but applications using the GTK+ dialog do not as far as I am aware.
You are right: Each time when printing or preparing a print with acroread, such links are created (and not removed). Please excuse for trouble. No CUPS bug.
