Here's some additional info: In my case when aptitude is truing to configure cups-daemon, there is a hang that lasts for some 10 minutes, then things fail: Setting up cups-daemon (1.7.1-4) ... Job for cups.service failed. See 'systemctl status cups.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details. invoke-rc.d: initscript cups, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing package cups-daemon (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 If I try to start cups-daemon by hand, it fails immediately: $ sudo service cups-daemon start ~ Failed to issue method call: Unit cups-daemon.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status cups-daemon.service' for details. $ sudo systemctl status cups-daemon.service ~ cups-daemon.service Loaded: error (Reason: No such file or directory) Active: inactive (dead) Heh, fiddling with /etc/init.d/cups I purged xprint-common and this seems to have fixed the cups problem: $ sudo dpkg -P xprint-common ~ (Reading database ... 491921 files and directories currently installed.) Removing xprint-common (2:1.4.2-11) ... Purging configuration files for xprint-common (2:1.4.2-11) ... $ sudo dpkg --configure -a ~ Setting up man-db (2.6.6-1) ... Updating database of manual pages ... Setting up cups-daemon (1.7.1-4) ... <- this was hanging/failing before Setting up cups-core-drivers (1.7.1-4) ... Setting up cups (1.7.1-4) ... Updating PPD files for cups ... Updating PPD files for cups-filters ... Updating PPD files for cups-pdf ... Updating PPD files for foomatic-db ... Updating PPD files for foomatic-db-engine ... Updating PPD files for hpcups ... Updating PPD files for postscript-hp ... I hope this helps to pinpoint the problem. -- dam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
