Package: libcupsfilters2-common
Version: 2.0.0-3
Severity: important
Installing the gnome package fails because of pkgProblemResolver.
$ apt -s install gnome
NOTE: This is only a simulation!
apt needs root privileges for real execution.
Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated,
so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
Unsatisfied dependencies:
libcupsfilters2-common : Breaks: cups-filters (< 2.0~) but 1.28.17-5 is to be
installed
Error: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused
by held packages.
I have no held packages on this system.
On the current testing release libcupsfilters2-common defines
Breaks: cups-filters (<< 2.0~)
Replaces: cups-filters (<< 2.0~)
but there's no cups-filters > 2.0~, although it says
Replaces: cups-filters (<< 2.0~)
I wonder why the described error happens?
Is a Provides: missing?
Here's some cups filter related debug output:
$ apt -s -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver::ShowScores=yes install gnome

If I add cups to the list of packages to be installed it works and
tries to install cups-filters (1.28.17-5 Debian:testing [amd64])
but not libcupsfilters2
$ apt -s install cups gnome
