Package: cups-daemon
Version: 2.2.10-6+deb10u2
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
systemd creates /run/cups/cups.sock on boot and as soon as anything
connects to it (by e.g. lpstat), cupsd -l starts as expected. There are
no shared printers on the system and the web interface is not running,
so cupsd will eventually exit. When it does, I find it will unlink
/run/cups/cups.sock (seen by strace on the running cupsd process), which
causes subsequent invocations of lpstat to fail with "Bad file descriptor".
cupsd did not remove the socket in Stretch, but in Buster it does.

This eventually turned out to be a configuration oops.
/etc/cups/cupsd.conf had
Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock
which would cause cupsd to listen to both /var/run/cups/cups.sock and
/run/cups/cups.sock, which is really the same file since /var/run is a
symbolic link to /run. On exit, /run/cups/cups.sock would be deleted,
which caused the symptom reported in this bug.
Changing the configuration file to
Listen /run/cups/cups.sock
fixes the problem.
