Mandriva Linux Advisory: MDKA-2006:028 - Updated cups packages to address
initscript bug

Detail
======

A bug in the cupsd initscript could prevent a system from coming
fully online if the CUPS daemon does not get actually started
(for example if CUPS config or cache file are corrupted or port 631
blocked) by continuously attempting to see if the cups server is
available without a timeout.
