Package: dselect Version: 1.15.8.13 Severity: important Hello!
The cups package is listed in dselect as: --- 8< --- EIOM Pri Section Package Inst.ver Avail.ver Description __ Opt net cups <none> 1.4.4-7+squ Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - server --- 8< --- Then I press ENTER, and I find myself in the main menu of dselect. Then I chose 3. [I]nstall, and I see: --- 8< --- Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following NEW packages will be installed: cups cups-driver-gutenprint libcupscgi1 libcupsdriver1 libcupsmime1 libgutenprint2 libijs-0.35 libslp1 The following packages will be upgraded: linux-base 1 upgraded, 8 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 4,703 kB of archives. After this operation, 17.2 MB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? --- 8< --- As far as I know cups is a service, so it is a feature not lib or something like that. Maybe some package that are about to be upgraded depends on in or recommends it, but that fact is not represented by dselect correctly. I don't have a new "Select" screen which used to be there for resolving situations like that. If I go back to the 2. [Select] menu, I still see cups as " __" (space space underscore underscore). /etc/apt/sources.list: --- 8< --- deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian squeeze main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian squeeze main contrib non-free deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-proposed-updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-proposed-updates main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security squeeze/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security squeeze/updates main contrib non-free --- 8< --- The /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory is empty.
