Bug#865766: printer-driver-cups-pdf: Bdependenca problem - printer-driver-cups-pdf cannot be upgraded to 3.0.1

["Hans-J. Ullrich" <hans.ullrich@loop.de>]

Package: printer-driver-cups-pdf
Version: 3.0.1-4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I am running debian/testing, and so I cannot upgrade to printer-driver-cups-pdf, which is a successor to the package cups-pdf.

The problem is, that printer-driver-cups-pdf inhibits to upgrade, as the installer got a dependency problem with the installed cups-pdf. 

Workaround is, just to uninstall and purge cups-pdf, then install printer-driver-cups-pdf.
However, the debian package should know the dependencies and uninstall cups-pdf automatically, then of course, install printer-driver-cups-pdf.

I believe, you might want to inform the package team.

Thank you for reading this. 

Best regards

Hans
