IMHO there's not much excuse to include lpr in standard. I assume that aptitude is not balking at removing lpr and installing the conflicting cupsys-bsd for some reason. I don't know why. Getting a log of the output of this (which is exactly what tasksel runs) on a frsh system would probably tell why: aptitude -q --without-recommends -y install '~t^desktop$' '~t^gnome-desktop$' If I run that here, it removes lpr and installs cupsys-bsd with no problem though. -- see shy jo
