RHBA-2015:0224 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated system-config-printer packages that fix two bugs are now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The system-config-printer packages contain a print queue configuration tool with
a graphical user interface.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Documentation for the pycups library, a part of the system-config-printer

packages, was erroneous. The word "as" was missing from some lines and
consequently, the code would produce an error when run if the "as" keyword was
missing. "As" was added at relevant places to fix this bug. As a result,
the documentation text is now correct and complete. (BZ#854937)

• Due to erroneous code in the python-cups bindings for libcups,

system-config-printer terminated unexpectedly with a segmentation fault
when handling UTF-8 characters in certain fields. Now, the execution of
system-config-printer no longer results in a segmentation fault. (BZ#1063224)

Users of system-config-printer are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which fix these bugs.
