CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

PACKAGE   : cups
SUMMARY   : Several vulnerabilities in the cups package - NEW RELEASE
DATE      : 2001-03-16 18:26:00
ID        : CLA-2001:386
RELEVANT
RELEASES  : 6.0

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

DESCRIPTION
 "cups" is one of the printing systems distributed with Conectiva
 Linux 6.0 (previous versions do not have this package).
 The previous announcement (#384, with the -6cl release) has packaging
 problems in the main package, cups-1.1.6-6cl As a result, the package
 will not be installed and the previous version (1.1.3) will remain on
 the system. An error message will also be displayed.


SOLUTION
 All users of the "cups" printing system should upgrade the package.
 Users who only used apt to do the previous update will only have to
 run apt again, as usual. No further intervention will be necessary.
 
 Only those who manually *forced* the installation of the
 cups-1.1.6-6cl package will have to perform further steps to
 succesfully upgrade to the fixed 1.1.6-7cl package.
 First, check the installed package:
 
 rpm -q cups
 
 If you have cups-1.1.6-6cl installed, then it must be removed:
 
 rpm -e cups-1.1.6-6cl --notriggers --nodeps
 
 After that, normal upgrade procedures can be used (i.e., just issue
 apt-get upgrade). If there are broken dependencies because of the
 forced removal of the cups package, issue apt-get -f install.
 
 We are sorry for this error and would like to thank Marcelo Subtil
 Marcal for reporting the problem.
