<1 week old Debian sarge box with some packages upgraded to sid, particularly
x.org replacing xfree86.

The following packages were installed/upgraded (beyond security updates
installed automatically by installer):
(NVDIST was unstable (aborted), then stable, then 
unstable(bit the bullet and went to x.org) )
apt-get -t $NVDIST install nvidia-kernel-source nvidia-kernel-common

Tried this during bug report (after version information)
apt-get -t unstable install  python-gtk2
apt-get -t unstable install libxft2    # already newest
apt-get install printconf
    Configuring Samsung ML-1710 on usb:/dev/usb/lp0 with gdi driver as queue

apt-get -t unstable printconf
   The following NEW packages will be installed:
      python-ipy python-support
   The following packages will be upgraded:
      printconf python-foomatic
dpkg-reconfigure printconf
apt-get -t unstable python     #2.3.5-5

I would try installing phthon2.3-gnome2-extras (which is what prevents
installing the latest version of foomatic-gui), but that would result in
the removal of gnome, gnome-applets, etc.    Even after doing a full gnome
upgrade:
  apt-get -t unstable install gnome
     # 70 upgraded, 81 newly installed, 30 to remove and 1099 not upgraded.
apt still won't install python2.3-gnome2-extras without removing gnome


Maybe this bug report should have been filed against python-gtk2, or 
python2.3-tnome2-extras but foomatic is where the problem first manifests and 
is critical.

The good news is that printconf automatically installed my printer.
The bad news is that foomatic-gui is still broken.

aptitude reports for python2.3-gnome2-extras:
   Depends: (only unsatisfied shown)
      libavahi-compat-howl0 (>=0.6.0) (UNSATISFIED)
        installed using apt-get
      libgdl-1-0 (UNSATISFIED)
        installed using apt-get
      libgtksourceview1.0-0 (>= 1.4) (UNSATISFIED)
        installed using apt-get
      libgtop2-5 (>= 2.12.0 (UNSATISFIED)
        wants to remove gnome
      libnautilus-burn2 (UNSATISFIED)
   Suggests
      python-gnome2-extras-doc (UNSATISFIED)
   Conflicts: 
      python2.3-gnome2 (<2.9.1) UNSATISFIED)

libgtop2-5 conflicts with libgtop2-2 which gnome probably depends on.
   removing libgtop2-2 will remove:
     gnome gnome-applets gnome-core gnome-desktop-environment gnome-office
     gnome-system-monitor

dpkg reports gnome, gnome-office, and rhythmbox are half installed 
(failed-config) 

rhythmbox depends on libsex1 which is not installed and isn't in repository?
apt-get update fixes that but now it wont enstal because of libenchant1c2a 

apt-get -t update
  # now we find libsexy1 but it wants 
  # libenchant1c2a: Depends: libmyspell3c2 
# apt-get -t unstable install  libmyspell3c2
  #     installing libmyspell3c2 will try to remove:
  #    libcurl3-gssapi libenchant1 libmyspell3 oooqs-kde openoffice.org
  #    openoffice.org-bin openoffice.org-debian-files openoffice.org-gtk-gnome
  #    openoffice.org-kde openoffice.org-l10n-en
  # ok, there is a newer version of openoffice
apt-get -t unstable install  libmyspell3c2
apt-get -t unstable install  libenchant1c2a

still not resolved, upgrading kernel to 2.6.16-1 which appeared to take
care of the love hate relationship between hotplug and udev.   Time to
reboot.
