Package: xprint
Version: 1:0.1.0.alpha1-13
Severity: normal

Hi,

the X11R7 transition confuses the hell out of me, so it might very well
be that this is a bogus bug report. If so, please ignore and close.

After a recent "apt-get upgrade" I get this:

Setting up xprint-common (1.0.1-1) ...
Installing new version of config file
/etc/Xprint/C/print/attributes/printer ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/init.d/xprint ...
Starting Xprint servers: Xprt.
/etc/init.d/xprint: ## ERROR: Can't find "/usr/bin/Xprt".


Which seems to be a real bug, because Xprt seems to really _not_ be
in /usr/bin:

$ dpkg -L xprint-common | grep Xprt
$ dpkg -L xprint | grep Xprt
/usr/X11R6/bin/Xprt
/usr/X11R6/man/man1/Xprt.1x.gz

It also looks like my xprint-common was upgraded to 1:1.0.1-1
while xprint was held back and is still version 1:0.1.0.alpha1-13
(according to reportbug).

To make things even more confusing there's also this:

$ gunzip -c /usr/share/doc/xprint/changelog.Debian.gz | head -1
xprint (1:1.0.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
$ gunzip -c /usr/share/doc/xprint-common/changelog.Debian.gz | head -1
xprint (1:1.0.1-1) unstable; urgency=low

I.e. both changelogs say that I have 1:1.0.1-1, which is probably wrong.

I'm confused. What's going on?
