package apt reassign 470713 aptitude thanks I think this is probably an aptitude bug, and I think I know how to fix it, but I need more information. I'll take responsibility for handling it or reassigning it to the proper package.

I apologize for being unclear. See below for a better explanation.

[Y/n/q/?] Y What I meant was that at this prompt, instead of entering "y", you should enter "o". That will produce something like this: ---- cut here ---- Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] o bluez-cups depends upon cupsys -> Removing bluez-cups cupsys-bsd recommends cupsys -> Installing cupsys-bsd 1.2.7-4etch2 (stable) cupsys-bsd depends upon cupsys-client (= 1.2.7-4etch2) -> Installing cupsys-client 1.2.7-4etch2 (stable) ---- cut here ---- This will give us some idea of why aptitude is making these decisions. If you have access to web space, it would also be handy if you could run "aptitude-create-state-bundle 470713.tar.bz2" and place the resulting file somewhere that I can download it (I'll let you know when I've got it). This is all assuming you can get the system back to a state in which the bug is exhibited. If not, we might as well close this bug, because I don't really know what's going on yet. My guess, though, is that installing all the packages that were removed before (cups-pdf, cupsys, cupsys-bsd, cupsys-driver-gutenprint, min12xxw, and scribus) will get you back to where you started.
