Bug Description
Binary package hint: gfax
ubuntu 10.04
gfax 0.7.7+ds-1
with the source version gfax 0.7.7 there is a postinstall.sh script that you run to finalise the install.
This script:
- creates /var/spool/gfax and sets its permissions. Without this dir gfax crashes on startup.
- adds a gfax printer to CUPS so users can print from any appliction
- registers gfax in gnome.
0.7.7+ds1from the repository only performs the last action leaving you unable to start gfax and without the printer.
I've seen this both on a 9.10 => 10.04 upgrade (installing gfax for the first time in 10.04) and on a 10.04 clean install.
postinstall.sh is attached. Running the script after installing from repositories (you must also restart cups after running the script) should fix both problems.

This problem still persist in Maverick 32 bits, with all the updates, but the previous script fails in the last command. In Maverick, the last line must be
gconf-schemas --register /usr/share/
