Hi Randy,
I've got the same problem when trying to install the 2.4.* deb-file
for cups 1.1.9. They've linked the executables against the new version
2.2 of glibc. I like to run a stable system, that's the reason why I
still stay with potato. So for me it was no choice to upgrade such a
vital library like the glibc to a version from woody or sid.
The only way to come around this problem is to get the source tarball
from www.cups.org and compile it by yourself. It's as easy as going
through the steps tar xvzf cups-1.1.9-1-source.tar.gz; cd cups-1.1.9;
./configure; make; su; make install.
But have a look into the INSTALL.txt file in the source directory for
additional information. For me it worked without problems.
Bye
Andreas
