Thank you both.  Nothing depended on strigi-analyzer so I got rid of it, along 
with the rest of the list. @preserve-rebuild and revdep-rebuild were quiet.

I tried printing from kmail to a pdf file (not near a printer yet), and it 
worked fine with Kmail offering the familiar KDE print manager GUI.  There is 
no print manager settings menu option in KDE settings; well I use E17 as a DE 
so without booting into the KDE desktop I don't know what may be available 
there that is not visible from within E17.

There is a CUPS "Manage Printing" menu entry though, which fires up a browser 
with locahost:631 in the address bar.  :-)
