[SOLVED] cups cli programs core dumped on run when using no arguments

gaull · 2023-06-06 06:33:27

When running programs lpq, lp, lpr and lprm from command shell they generate de Segmentation fault.

[user@host ~]$ lpq
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[user@host ~]$ lp
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[user@host ~]$ lpr
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[user@host ~]$ lprm
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I expectec this normal output:

[user@host ~]$ lpq
lpq: Unable to connect to server.
[user@host ~]$ lp
lp: Error - No default destination.
[user@host ~]$ lpr
lpr: Error - No default destination.

But the programs appear to be functioning fine when adding the right arguments to them.

Maybe other people experince the same problem? How to resolv this issue?

Below I included information about the running system and debug backtrace.

Was a bug in cups that got fixed with the 2.4.4 release. Please mark as [SOLVED] by editing the title in your first post.
