[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#639799: cups: Prevents foomatic-db and foomatic-db-engine upgrade

[Eugenio M. Vigo]

Package: cups
Version: 1.4.8-2
Severity: normal

The current version of cups prevents the installation of the last foomatic-db 
and foomatic-db-engine packages (20110803-3 and 4.0.8-2). Those packages are 
set to conflict with cups (< 1.5.0). The solution so far has been to hold the
upgrade.

I've filed this under this package because I consider this to be a bug in cups,
not foomatic-db and foomatic-db-engine. I wonder why those packages were 
upgraded before cups. But given the current situation, the obvious solution is 
to upgrade cups to 1.5.0 on Wheezy.

Thanks.
