Bug#398081: cupsys: After recent update gs-esp package is needed but it isnt installed automatically as a dependency
Package: cupsys
Version: 1.1.23-10sarge1
Severity: important
The description of my system is a Debian stable, running cupsys with a
HP Deskjet 920c(USB) attached. I think it is using the hpijs driver.
The problem:
After a recent cups update, pushed from the official stable repositories, the pirnter stoped working complaining about a missing gs-esp library.
The cups packages doesnt depends on this package so i had to install it
manually to fix the problem, but it if necesarry to have this package to
print.
In previous versions this packages wasnt necesary.
This looks like a dependency problem.
