BUG: Some symlinks missing from the OCI images (Can't add printer via SMB)

[celsomiranda]

Hi.

As discussed over on Discord. I've been having this wierd bug with images based on main, including itself.

If I go to CUPS admin in http://localhost:631/ there is no option Windows Printer via SAMBA under Add Printer > Other Network Printers.

This doesn't happen on a vanilla fresh install of Silverblue.

The output of rpm -qa '*samba*' is the same on both systems:

samba-common-4.17.6-0.fc37.noarch
samba-client-libs-4.17.6-0.fc37.x86_64
samba-common-libs-4.17.6-0.fc37.x86_64
samba-client-4.17.6-0.fc37.x86_64

Both systems are freshly installed side by side so I can test the differences between the two.

Output of rpm -qa --queryformat '%{NAME}\n' | sort

vanilla silverblue:37

silverblue.txt

quay.io/fedora-ostree-desktops/silverblue:37

quay-silverblue.txt

ublue-main/silverblue:37

ublue-main.txt

Vanilla Silverblue 37 and the OCI image pulled from quay should have the same packages installed, but one provides the option to add the printer and the latter doesn't.

I solved it.
I added the following line to the Containerfile from where I build my image:

RUN ln -s /usr/libexec/samba/cups_backend_smb /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb

Let's keep this open for now as a reminder and then see how the move to quay.io/fedora goes over the next few days and then see if the images still differ.

This appears to be coreos/rpm-ostree#1614

Reopening the issue until it is solved upstream, or we come up with a way to fix the images ourselves temporarily.

Currently implementing this is my custom image.

fedora-sysv/chkconfig#135 has been merged which should fix the issue.
