I did the following: till@till-x1carbon:~$ sudo -i [sudo] password for till: root@till-x1carbon:~# systemd-analyze set-log-level debug root@till-x1carbon:~# systemctl stop cups.service Warning: Stopping cups.service, but it can still be activated by: cups.path cups.socket root@till-x1carbon:~# sleep 4 root@till-x1carbon:~# touch /var/cache/cups/org.cups.cupsd root@till-x1carbon:~# sleep 4 root@till-x1carbon:~# sudo rm /var/cache/cups/org.cups.cupsd root@till-x1carbon:~# sleep 4 root@till-x1carbon:~# systemctl stop cups.service Job for cups.service canceled. root@till-x1carbon:~# systemd-analyze set-log-level info root@till-x1carbon:~# journalctl -b > /tmp/journal.txt root@till-x1carbon:~#
And as you see, I could reproduce the error ("Job for cups.service canceled."). journal.txt attached. ** Attachment added: "/tmp/journal.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/init-system-helpers/+bug/1642966/+attachment/4786413/+files/journal.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1642966/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
