Package: cups
Version: 1.4.1-5
Severity: normal
Hi there!
The latest uploaded version introduced a strict dependency on
poppler-utils >= 0.12. Previously, the dependency was "poppler-utils |
xpdf-utils" and indeed I could have cups installed with xpdf-utils. Now
this is not possible anymore and the debian/changelog does not contain
any useful information about that.
Given that xpdf-utils Provides: poppler-utils, this could also be a bug
in the package manager or in the poppler- or xpdf-utils packages, since:
- `apt-get upgrade` on my sid keeps cups on hold, since it requires
poppler-utils which Conflicts: with xpdf-utils, but install all the
other cups* packages
- `apt-get install cups` on a clean sid chroot, where only xpdf-utils
(thus nothing Depends: on it) is installed, simply removes xpdf-utils
and installs poppler-utils
- `aptitude install cups` on the same clean sid chroot above complains
with the following output
=====
root@gismo:/# aptitude install cups
[...]
The following packages are BROKEN:
poppler-utils xpdf-utils
[...]
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
poppler-utils: Conflicts: xpdf-utils but 3.02-1.4+lenny1 is installed.
xpdf-utils: Conflicts: poppler-utils but 0.12.0-2.1 is to be installed.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Keep the following packages at their current version:
cups [Not Installed]
poppler-utils [Not Installed]
=====
Nevertheless, I cannot upgrade cups :-(
Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
