The bugs do look similar, but I'm having trouble installing the packages from
unstable. I always thought the way to go was (e.g.)
apt-get -t unstable install cups-filters
but this gives
E: The value 'unstable' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a \
release is not available in the sources
"Sid" instead of "unstable" also fails. I tried downloading the packages
manually and using "dpkg -i", but the chain of dependencies was getting too
scary.
