[arch-general] Cups upgrade leaves broken link in multi-user.target.wants: cups.path -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/cups.path
Devs, I don't know which recent Cups upgrade changed the systemd service name for 'cups.path' to 'org.cups.cupsd.path' without removing the old link when the new package upgrade is performed. This leaves multi-user.target.wants with a broken link, e.g.: $ l1 /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ avahi-daemon.service cronie.service cups.path <--- old link --- dhcpd4.service dovecot.service httpd.service iptables.service lm_sensors.service mysqld.service named.service 'netctl@rlf_network\x2dstatic.service' nmbd.service ntpd.service nut-server.service org.cups.cupsd.path <--- new link --- postfix.service remote-fs.target smbd.service spamassassin.service sshd.service vsftpd.service Do I just need to unlink the old broken link? Is this worth any other report? Forum? Let me know -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
That was over 2 years ago, and it was mentioned in an upgrade message (although it does not specifically mention the .path file).[1] Anyway, it can't really hurt to have a broken file there. Just remove the link and all will be fine. [1] https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/cups&id=ed9718c7a3c8b2e67be1e71d7a04cbbb2ec57020

Whoa, that way a while back -- removed. Thank you! (never practice law and do your own IT -- it's the little notes you miss) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
