Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
I have some computers that will never print anything. For instance, one
is a HTPC. I have uninstalled cups as I have no need for it. Another one
is a netbook with limited disk space.
However, whenever I do a dist upgrade the dist-upgrade tool insists on
re-installing cups complete with dependencies etc. On the HTPC it's an
annoyance, on the netbook it will abort and complain about lack of disk
space so I'll have to find stuff to remove to free up enough spece for
cups to be installed just so I can remove it again.
Upgrade is from Karmic to Lucid. Method of upgrade is "do-release-
upgrade -d"
It would be good if update-manager detected that cups was not installed
and skipped it for the upgrade.
