Dear All,

I have been working on a solution for bug 12539.

With cups and cups-filters installed the services tab shows cups twice in the=
 add-on list. This is because the cut command from the installed meta files c=
auses both meta-cups and meta-cups-filters to result in cups and therefore sh=
ows up twice.

The solution seems to be to rename the Prog name from cups-filters to cups_fi=
lters. I made these changes in my local repo and everything built successfull=
y.

However I can not figure out how to test and confirm that it has worked.

If I install the built ISO and then install cups and cups_filters from pakfir=
e they load the programs from the IPFire repo and therefore load the original=
 versions which still have the problem and show up twice in the services tab.

If I copy the cup and cups_filters ipfire packages and install them into my t=
est bed system, the programs are installed and can be successfully started bu=
t because they were not installed by pakfire they have not been added to the =
installed meta files in /opt/pakfire/db/installed/meta-* and therefore do not=
 show up in the services tab at all.

Can anyone help me with advice on how to be able to install these modified ad=
d-on packages so I can check that the original problem is actually solved by =
my solution, or do I have to just submit a patch and the review of the patch =
will tell me if I have done it correctly or not.

Thanks for any help/advice,

Adolf
