Package: cups-filters
Version: 1.28.17-6+deb13u1
Severity: important

cups-filters is currently at 1.28.x, upsteam is at 2.x. I brought this up on 
the printing mailling list in Febuary (see below) and the maintainer agreed it 
should be updated to 2.x but it has not been updated, so I'm creating this bug 
to track the update

This is currently important because cups needs cups-filters to function 
correctly, however the package libcupsfilters2-common breaks and replaces 
cups-filters 1.x (I beleive it actually should depend on cups-filters 2.x)

See:
 https://lists.debian.org/debian-printing/2026/02/msg00038.html

The cups package also depends on cups-filters

This effectivtly renders libcupsfilters2 and cpdb-backend-cups uninstallable 
(and cups and gnome-core can't be installed)
