How about "apt-get dist-upgrade"? The Replaces/Conflicts removal mechanism used here is so basic that even dpkg can do the automatic removal, without any need for apt-get/aptitude. I'm *very* surprised that aptitude is failing here. Does "full-upgrade" work as expected? % apt-cache show cups-driver-gutenprint Package: cups-driver-gutenprint Version: 5.2.3-2 Replaces: cupsys-driver-gutenprint Depends: [...] Suggests: [...] Conflicts: cupsys-driver-gutenprint Regards, Roger -- .''`.
