CUPS service won't start after upgrade in RHEL 7
Issue
-
After upgrading CUPS, a new entry, "
SystemGroup=sys root"
was added to/etc/cups/cups-files.conf
, and CUPS is unable to start. After commenting the parameter in configuration file the CUPS service starts properly. -
We have recently patched the server and during patching at the time of cleanup activity its showing below error.

After that server was rebooted, but the CUPS service was not able to start
