hi Jean-Baptiste,
Thanks for your suggestion - I agree something went wrong during a
previous install: the system went dead so I had to shut-down the hard way...
I'm afraid your command didn't work, this is the response I got:

But fortunately there was an update available today (cups version 1.3.9)
and that did install ok!
So for me the issue can be closed, though I'm still interested to know
what this means:
current status `triggers-awaited'
thanks!
cheers,
