stretch amd64 install here, with custom preempt-rt kernel.
Now, after supposedly enabling more stuff by the use of Allow (all my
local networks addresses in ipv4/24 formats) I am now locked out of
printing from my own print server box. So I said what the h and had apt
start removing cups, figuring I could when that was done, nuke /etc/cups
and /var/log/cups and restart with a default install. That died due to
broken dependencies and theres no fixing it. synaptic nor apt will do
anything until the broken dependencies are fixed. But it won't show me
what it thinks is broken.
Sure, I can probably amrecover from a month or so back when it all just
worked, which is my next step, but I doubt this will fix the broken
stuff, whatever the heck it is. I'd much druther force apt to reinstall
it all but I can't find the --force option.
So what do I do next?
Cheers, Gene Heskett
