I suppose that cups.path is only for booting, i. e. you want to start cups.service on boot, not again on demand on a running system. Does it ever happen that cups.service terminates by itself due to inactivity? If not, this provides a good enough workaround for not stopping cups.path properly in the maintainer scripts. If yes, this appproach doesn't work. Note that you probably want to do the same for cups.socket, with the same reasoning as above. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1642966 Title: package cups-daemon 2.1.3-4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 Status in cups package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in init-system-helpers package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This is in xenial-proposed, please block release to -updates accordingly :) ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: cups-daemon 2.1.3-4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-46.67-generic 4.4.24 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-46-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: zfs zunicode zcommon znvpair zavl ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.1 Architecture: amd64 CupsErrorLog: Date: Fri Nov 18 11:13:15 2016 ErrorMessage: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-05-02 (200 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20160420.1) Lpstat: device for mallards-officejet-pro-8600: dnssd://Officejet%20Pro%208600%20%5BD63461%5D._ipp._tcp.local/?uuid=1c852a4d-b800-1f08-abcd-d89d67d63461 MachineType: Dell Inc.
