CUPS error_log inconsistency

Hello:

As I solved a problem I had with my CUPS configuration, I went to check if it had indeed been solved.

So:

[root@devuan groucho]# tail /var/log/cups/error_log
W [31/Oct/2018:17:57:35 -0300] Max clients reached, holding new connections...
W [31/Oct/2018:17:57:35 -0300] Max clients reached, holding new connections...

W [31/Oct/2018:18:17:42 -0300] CreateProfile failed: org.freedesktop.ColorManager.AlreadyExists:profile id \'Samsung_M2020_Series-Gray..\' already exists

But when I went to check again, this time with Leafpad through the File Manager, I got this:

[root@devuan groucho]# leafpad /var/log/cups/error_log

E [18/Jun/2018:14:44:57 -0300] [Client 7] Request from "localhost" using invalid Host: field "[v1.::1]:631".

W [18/Jun/2018:17:17:37 -0300] Notifier for subscription 6 (dbus://) went away, retrying!

Now, I am looking (?) at the same file ...

/var/log/cups/error_log

... and there's only one:

groucho@devuan:~$ sudo updatedb
groucho@devuan:~$ locate error_log
/var/log/cups/error_log
groucho@devuan:~$ 

Any idea just what is going on here?

Thanks in advance.
