Package: cups Version: 1.3.8-1lenny4 Severity: important Because I have a Konica-Minolta 2400W printer, I had been using the Lenny CUPS on my server, but I recently upgraded my server to an AMD64 system and installed Etch+1/2 on it. I again used the Lenny CUPS package but was having problems so I tried my best to remove it and revert to the Etch+1/2 version. I used tasksel to stop this from being a print server then put it back as a printer server again. Unfortunately this didn't reset the cupsd.conf to the original install version. I tried various aptitude remove --purge commands but finally ended up erasing /etc/cups. However, after doing this I discovered that cups won't reinstall. I had to add some dummy files to get it work somewhat. Even using tasksel to remove the print server and reinstalling it doesn't help - tasksel aborts with an aptitude error (255) at the end. Frustrating... It seems to me that tasksel should be able to set up the print server onto a system.
