Not a good advice in this case of the cups package. AFAICT there never
was a working version in fink, and there probably won't be one, because
with Jaguar it will be obsolete.

This *is* strange. What version of cups were you able to get through
dselect? AFAIK there is no version available in binary form, since there
is no version in stable.

This is an old bug I always had with Max' cups package. IMHO it never
worked. The patch file is wrong, or works only with certain specific
tools I (and apparently Curtis) don't have. It replaces several
"${prefix}" by "\${prefix}", and this gives the error Curtis is seeing.

I think you are too harsh with Curtis. Or do you have a directory named
(literally!) ${prefix}? Do you have a working version of cups from fink
at all? What version? I do have one, but only because I made my own
package description for cups 1.15.
