Bug#470713: apt: removing cupsys removes scribus as well
Hi Christian,
You are right, this should have been filed against scribus or
cupsys or both perhaps? Just not debian-aware. If somebody can change
it to the right package, would be appreciated. (Also tell me how they
do it so I know also for next time).
Some things I tried.
shirish@Mugglewille:~$ sudo aptitude install scribus

As one can see installing scribus also installs cupsys which should
not be required.
Daniel I had done -O last time & it still didn't change anything,
although that's an interesting switch/option which I have no idea is
for what.
Then I removed cupsys package & this time it removes without an issue.
shirish@Mugglewille:~$ sudo aptitude purge cupsys

What's again interesting to note here is that cupsys-bsd is still
present which should have also been purged. (me thinks)
Another point I want to make is last time when I purged, I also
removed the /etc/cups directory as well. That's perhaps another bug
but this is not consistent behaviour as well.
Cupsys version :- 1.3.6-1ubuntu2
Scribus version :- 1.3.3.11.dfsg-1ubuntu3
Perhaps I need to investigate more, if there is something u guys want
to specifically try please let me know.
