Package: cupsys
Version: 1.2.7-4etch2
Severity: normal


Trying to install the cupsys package via aptitude fails. Error message is "ln:
/usr/lib/cups/backend-available/ipp not found" (translation from German, so
I'm not sure whether it's the correct words used). After this the
installation of other packages dependant on cupsys (i.e. cupsys-bsd) won't
succeed, of course.

The script post-installation of cupsys exits with code 1.

Due to this the whole printing system does not work.
