Can't start CUPS - libcupsmime.so.1 error inUbuntu 9.10 / read-only system

[Christo]

I've checked /usr/lib and it contains these files:
- libcups.so.2
- libcupscgi.so.1
- libcupsdriver.so.1
- libcupsimage.so.2
- libcupsmime.so.1
- libcupsppdc.so.1

Nothing seems to be missing - same files are in the read/write environment and CUPS works fine there.

I've changed permissions to full access on these files to see if it had any difference, but same result. I've replaced the file with new ones from a live CD, no luck.

This seems to be an issue in CUPS and not Ubuntu - Ubuntu and all software works without problems in the read-only area, and CUPS does not. Is CUPS unable to operate in an these protected environments?
