Bug 130330

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.3)
Installed from:    FreeBSD Ports
OS:                FreeBSD

When trying to use the Print Server/Restart Server function in the KControl Printer dialog for CUPS, an error dialog is displayed:

Unable to restart print server. Error message received from manager:

Symbol restartServer not found in cupsdconf library.

This bug has been long-standing on FreeBSD, probably ever since http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/kdelibs/kdeprint/cups/kmcupsmanager.cpp?rev=281953&r1=276746&r2=281953
, but has only been recently brought to my attention again.

The symbol is indeed missing from the library:

... but is present in libkdeinit_cupsdconf.so (and replacing cupsdconf.so with a symlink to that works around the problem).
