I update CUPS to net-print/cups-1.1.13-r1 Got a lot of errors: lpadmin: add-printer failed: server-error-internal-error and from the emerge log: >>> Merging net-print/cups-1.1.13-r1 to / --- /var/ --- /var/spool/ >>> /var/spool/cups/ >>> /var/spool/cups/tmp/ >>> /var/log/cups/ >>> /etc/cups/ppd/ .... >>> Safely unmerging already-installed instance... <<< dir /var/spool/cups/tmp <<< dir /var/spool/cups --- !empty dir /var/spool <<< dir /var/log/cups --- !empty dir /var/log Then CUPS can't work and no logs in /var/log/cups :-(
this is a known "feature" that may be addressed in future versions of portage. Most of the time, this actually ends up being a good thing. I've tweaked the cups ebuild (1.1.13-r2, now on cvs) so this problem should now be fixed.
