[arch-general] cups not starting on boot after last 2 kernel updates? -- where to put it in the DAEMONS line?

[David C. Rankin]

Guys,

   Cups has been working like clockwork for the past year - up until the last 2 
kernel updates. Now after boot, a manual '/etc/rc.d/cupsd restart' is required 
to get it working again. Would moving it in the DAEMONS line make sense? 
Currently I have:

DAEMONS=(hwclock syslog-ng network named @netfs @ntpd @sshd @dhcp4 @crond 
@mysqld @postfix @dovecot @httpd @samba @cups @vsftpd @sensors @spamd)

   When cups fails to start, I get the following warnings and errors:

   I have no idea what the Bad File number errors are, but the warnings are just 
from the multiple explicit listen designations in the cupsd.conf for client access:

# Only listen for connections from the local machine.
Listen localhost:631
Listen phoenix.rlfpllc.com:631
Listen phoenix:631
Listen www.rlfpllc.com:631
Listen 192.168.7.15:631

   I think the real issue is the 'Address already in use' errors, but that 
doesn't explain why it cups starts just fine with a manual '/etc/rc.d/cupsd 
restart'. If the address/port was actually already taken, then I would expect 
the restart to fail as well. The the ACL error is fine - cups isn't using acls 
on my box and I don't want to set the acl mount option in fstab, so I can live 
with that error.

   I've been through the forums, google and bug tracker task/22895, but still no 
solution. Should I move cupsd earlier in the DAEMONS line?  Anybody else seeing 
cups fail to start on boot, but starting fine on a manual restart? Thanks for 
any thoughts or help you can give.
