** Description changed:

- I've a freshly-installed Ubuntu GNOME 16.04.1 LTS system that I upgraded
- to 16.10 using 'sudo do-release-upgrade' in a terminal[*].  The upgrade
- process removed system-config-printer-gnome, which I've discovered
- today, when my attempts to configure a new printer failed with an
- unhelpful error message.
+ Impact
+ =======
+ Users who upgraded Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 LTS to Ubuntu GNOME 16.10 using 
do-release-upgrade (update-manager too?) had system-config-printer-gnome 
uninstalled. system-config-printer-gnome is required for the Printers panel of 
the Settings app to work.
+ 
+ Test Case
+ =========
+ Ensure that gnome-control-center depends on system-config-printer-gnome.
+ 
+ Regression Potential
+ ====================
+ Unless someone has a reason to not want system-config-printer-gnome 
installed, there doesn't seem to be any regression potential here.
+ 
+ Other Info
+ ==========
+ I (jbicha) am not applying this change to zesty now, because I want to merge 
system-config-printer with Debian first so that gnome-control-center can depend 
on system-config-printer-common instead of system-confg-printer-gnome.

+ Original Bug Report
+ ===================
+ I've a freshly-installed Ubuntu GNOME 16.04.1 LTS system that I upgraded to 
16.10 using 'sudo do-release-upgrade' in a terminal[*].  The upgrade process 
removed system-config-printer-gnome, which I've discovered today, when my 
attempts to configure a new printer failed with an unhelpful error message.
  
  /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log (and I hope ubuntu-bug will attach it to
  this bug) indicates that system-config-printer-gnome was removed because
  (the old version of) it depended on packagekit-system-interface, which
  is not in yakkety.
  
  [*] because six months earlier when I used the GUI update-manager to
  upgrade an Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 system to 16.04 LTS I had a lot of pain
  related to the GUI bits (the screensaver-won't-unlock-post-gnome-shell-
  upgrade bug, and the update-manager-UI-freezes-on-ctrl-shift-I bug).
