Package name: module-init-tools
Date: 2006-04-26
Advisory ID: MDKA-2006:022
Affected versions: 2006.0 i586 , 2006.0 x86_64

Problem description

The default configuration of module-init-tools was to send a HUP signal
to the CUPS daemon whenever the "usblp" kernel module is loaded, for
example when a USB printer is plugged in. Due to udev also sending a HUP
signal to the CUPS daemon on pluggin in a USB printer there were two
HUPs one shortly after the other which often makes the CUPS daemon
crashing.

The updated module-init-tools package removes the usblp call
responsible for this bad behaviour.
