be carefull when editing files under: /var/lib/dpkg! If you brake something important here your debian system is not updateable anymore (apt & dpkg doesn't work anymore!). Always make a backup before changing something here! I can't say it often enough. With "apt-get install --reinstall <package>" it is more or less harmless when you brake something in your system, but in the dpkg-files itself you have to be very careful. and don't forget that an: apt-get update will override your changes again (afaik). at least the next cups upgrade will do so. --Ralph
