Argh! That's helpful. Turns out that cupsys depends on gs-esp. But
cupsys-pstoraster (which I was requesting above) is a conflict of gs-esp.
Frankly, I'm not sure if that's the exact problem that apt-get was
finding, or not.
Regardless, would be nice if apt-get explained a bit more about the
reason for failure.
