Bug#325434: gnome should Recommend cupsys

[Loïc Minier]

Package: gnome
Version: 1:2.10.1.1
Severity: normal

        Hi,

 The default print configuration and print tools under GNOME expect a
 local CUPS server on 127.0.0.1 and pulling in cupsys avoids a lot of
 breakage with RPC programs (such as FAM) due to a bug in libcupsys
 (#261179).

 Having cupsys installed also permits queuing print jobs for remote
 printers.

 Since this is not absolutely necessary (one can configure a remote CUPS
 server instead), I suggest we add a Recommend in gnome for cpusys.

 Another option is to put the Recommend in packages relying on CUPS
 being available at 127.0.0.1, such as gnome-cups-manager.

 Let me know what you think of this.

   Bye,
