Indeed, it seems that you can't. I can confirm that cups and foomatic-filters are not coinstallable, at least since jessie. Till: should 'beh' be shipped in cups-filters too, or is there an alternative to it between cups and cups-filters. Alternatively, should we split 'beh' off foomatic-filters? Cheers, OdyX
