Well, no; qcad needs to be fixed to use the fully qualified library name with soname included, instead of assuming it can open any file name 'libcups.so' (even if present) and get the interface it's looking for. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.

Well, given the specific error: $ qcad libcups.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I don't think you need a virtual depends, but instead an explicit Depends: cupsys-client. Well, the question was more a general one ;) because I was not sure if explicitly depending on one specific printing frontend is a good idea. Nevertheless, I meanwhile think that this specific issue has a different cause: it seems that the Qt runtime dynamically loads libcups.so, which is of course only available when the corresponding -dev package is installed (I could reproduce the originally reported issue today after a reboot). Manually creating the dev link from libcups.so.2 to libcups.so then worked around the problem ...
