Thank you for your explanation, William. However, does this mean that there could still be programmes available in the repository for Warty Warthog? How does one identify an obsolete programme? I would have thought that when an application has been superseded, its predecessor is archived. This happens with revised version numbers. My suggestion to David to use the gnome cups manager for switching printers was made in good faith because it works for me. Sometimes "old" applications work very well.
