[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#372309: Upgrade to 1.2 is not automatic and has vague instructions

[Carl Fink]

Package: cupsys
Version: 1.2.1-2
Severity: normal

Upgrading to cupsys 1.2 should be automatic, and probably could be.  Instead
dpkg informs root that certain changes need to be made.  To make a minor problem
worse, the instructions for enable/disable (as of this version) don't say WHICH 
FILE to edit.

Not all of us are CUPS experts--most people just install it and print.  We don't
want to have to fiddle around, searching docs to figure out which file to 
manually edit in order to make printing work.

Thanks.
