I have to say I don't know much about xprint, the somewhat strange

Where should this be defined? In the user environment? It is not defined
for the old package.
Supplement: I'm not able to reinstall the new ones, see below.

old version:
$ xplsprinters
xplsprinters:  no printers found for printer spec "".
$ /etc/init.d/xprint get_xpserverlist
:64
$ export XPSERVERLIST=':64'
$ xplsprinters
printer: xlp@:64
printer: us@:64
printer: lp@:64
printer: hplj@:64

printer: xp_pdf_spooldir_HOME_Xprintjobs@:64

I know, never had such a lot of trouble with an update, breaking lots
of things. And some of my debian systems are running for more than
10 years, always maintained by apt-get update/dist-upgrade over the
years and debian versions, never reinstalled.

Shouldn't xprint depend on those libraries in this case?

I doubt about this, at the moment the nvidia-kernel-modules are missing,
even in unstable. So I cannot install the Xorg 7.0 server, most likely
for a longer time :-(. I'm starting to downgrade the X11 packages and
set them on hold.

I more and more assume this bug is caused by an apt problem. I'm not
able to reinstall the new xprint packages by now:

xprint-common Version: 1:1.0.2-1 Depends: x11-common (>= 1:7.0.12)
x11-common Version: 1:7.0.20 Conflicts: xserver-xorg (<< 1:7.0.12)

I am stucked with xserver-xorg 6.9, so the new xprint packages never
should have been installable on my system.

So you may close this bug, as it probably disappears if xprint is
installed with the correct dependencies.

Sorry for the trouble,

Uwe
