Dear maintainer(s),

On Debian jessie systems using SystemV, the cups-browsed always needs
to be restarted after system startup.

On our system it gets launched before avahi-daemon and then fails to
find printers broadcasted on the local network.

What fixes the issue here is moving "avahi-daemon" from
Should-Start:/-Stop: to Required-Start:/-Stop: in
/etc/init.d/cups-browsed.

For the systemd service file of cups-browsed, this has already been
implemented.

In the systemd service file, cups-browsed also requires the cups
daemon itself to be running. I guess, that this should also be
reflected in the SystemV init script.

Thanks for maintaining CUPS in Debian!!!

Mike

Hi Mike,

unfortunately this is a feature and not a bug.

As cups-browsed only Recommends: avahi-daemon, it might not be installed
and you can not require to wait for its start. As far as I know systemd
has some kind of timeout and the system will still boot when avahi-daemon
is not installed.

So, if you don't mind I will close this bug again.
