Don't worry, we're confused by it too :) > After a recent "apt-get upgrade" I get this: > > Setting up xprint-common (1.0.1-1) ... > Installing new version of config file > /etc/Xprint/C/print/attributes/printer ... > Installing new version of config file /etc/init.d/xprint ... > Starting Xprint servers: Xprt. > /etc/init.d/xprint: ## ERROR: Can't find "/usr/bin/Xprt". > > > Which seems to be a real bug, because Xprt seems to really _not_ be > in /usr/bin: > > $ dpkg -L xprint-common | grep Xprt > $ dpkg -L xprint | grep Xprt > /usr/X11R6/bin/Xprt > /usr/X11R6/man/man1/Xprt.1x.gz > > It also looks like my xprint-common was upgraded to 1:1.0.1-1 > while xprint was held back and is still version 1:0.1.0.alpha1-13 > (according to reportbug). Looks like it might help if I put some versioned depends in.

Ah, that's an interesting trap I hadn't thought of. doc/xprint is just a symlink to doc/xprint-common, which is why it looks like xprint is upgraded. As reportbug told us above, your xprint is in fact still at 1:0.1.0.alpha1-13. I wonder if I should stop using the symlink, I put it there to save leaving duplicated files around pointlesslu. The real question here is why xprint was not allowed to upgrade. Can you try to pin this down? Does it not proceed if you perform apt-get upgrade again?
