Package: cups-filters Version: 1.0.61-5+deb8u1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
i've just installed my first 'jessue' server, and trying to configure CUPS i've it a trouble. Little note: i've found in past year (and debian version) some trouble handling some printer: it is normally due to firmware or driver (windows driver) bugs, but in some case i use the 'beh' backend (backend error handler, http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/database/backenderrorhandler) to cure or at least circumvent that trouble. Normally, on older debian revision, beh get installed by default. Not on jessie. Looking on file search: https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=beh&mode=path&suite=stable&arch=any i've found that the 'beh' backend is in the 'foomatic-filters' package. Good. But: root@brucaliffo:/tmp/mailto# LANG=C apt-get install foomatic-filters Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: cups cups-filters printer-driver-gutenprint The following NEW packages will be installed: foomatic-filters 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 3 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 159 kB of archives. After this operation, 2673 kB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Not so good. The trouble seems to come from a dependency mess, eg: root@brucaliffo:/tmp/mailto# apt-cache show cups | egrep "^(Depends|Recommends|Conflicts):" Depends: libavahi-client3 (>= 0.6.16), libavahi-common3 (>= 0.6.16), libc6 (>= 2.16), libcups2 (= 1.7.5-11+deb8u1), libcupscgi1 (>= 1.4.2), libcupsimage2 (>= 1.4.0), libcupsmime1 (>= 1.4.0), libcupsppdc1 (>= 1.4.0), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1), libstdc++6 (>= 4.1.1), libusb-1.0-0 (>= 2:1.0.8), debconf (>= 1.2.9) | debconf-2.0, libc-bin (>= 2.13), cups-core-drivers (>= 1.7.5-11+deb8u1), cups-daemon (>= 1.7.5-11+deb8u1), poppler-utils (>= 0.12), procps, ghostscript (>= 9.02~), lsb-base (>= 3.2-14~), cups-common (>= 1.7.5-11+deb8u1), cups-server-common (>= 1.7.5-11+deb8u1), cups-client (>= 1.7.5-11+deb8u1), cups-ppdc, cups-filters (>= 1.0.24-3~) Recommends: avahi-daemon, colord, cups-filters (>= 1.0.42) | foomatic-filters (>= 4.0), printer-driver-gutenprint, cups-filters (>= 1.0.36) | ghostscript-cups (>= 9.02~) root@brucaliffo:/tmp/mailto# apt-cache show cups-filters | egrep "^(Depends|Recommends|Conflicts):" Depends: libc6 (>= 2.15), libcups2 (>= 1.7.0), libcupsfilters1 (>= 1.0.58), libcupsimage2 (>= 1.4.0), libfontconfig1 (>= 2.11), libfontembed1 (>= 1.0.31), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1), libijs-0.35 (>= 0.35), liblcms2-2 (>= 2.2+git20110628), libpoppler46 (>= 0.26.5), libqpdf13 (>> 5.0.0~), libstdc++6 (>= 4.1.1), cups-filters-core-drivers (>= 1.0.61-5+deb8u1), bc, ghostscript (>= 9.02~) Recommends: colord Conflicts: foomatic-filters, ghostscript-cups root@brucaliffo:/tmp/mailto# apt-cache show foomatic-filters | egrep "^(Depends|Recommends|Conflicts):" Depends: libc6 (>= 2.14), libdbus-1-3 (>= 1.0.2), debconf (>= 0.5) | debconf-2.0, ucf (>= 0.30) Recommends: cups-client | lpr | lprng | rlpr, ghostscript, cups | enscript | a2ps | mpage, poppler-utils (>= 0.11.2), colord eg, cups both depends and recommend 'cups-filters', cups-filters conflicts with foomatic-filters and foomatic-filters recommends cups. Seems so strange to me... how can i install the 'beh' backend?
