[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#370403: cupsys breaks all of KDE printing

[Jason Clinton]

Package: cupsys
Version: 1.2.1-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


The newest cupsys update breaks all of KDE Printing subsystem in all
versions of 3.x. This is because KDE uses private interfaces which
existed in version 1.1.x; those interfaces have been remove in CUPS
1.2.1. Upstream has not yet provided a fix.
