Package: gs-esp
Version: 8.71~dfsg2-9
Severity: normal
In a normal upgrade aptitude removed the canon printer driver cndrvcups-common
I find it has a dependency on gs-esp which has disappeared from the archive.
Downloading it by hand and installing it with dpkg -i gets back the canon
driver

This report was filed against a package which is no longer distributed
in Debian. Additionally, I think it could be wishful thinking to expect
any enhancement request to be realised any time soon, especially when
the printer depends on a non-free driver. Should we carry this bug in
the BTS indefinitely? I think not; hence closing. Sorry.

Brian.
