Hi, I am still unable to install cupsys due to a previous incorrect setting of port and hostname for my printer.
When I get the error, I get told to run dpkg-reconfigure, but I cannot as this package is not correctly installed. This is a chicken and egg problem I don't know how to solve. I have tried to remove the .template files from /var/lib/dpkg/info, but it still doesn't want to work. I get the following error when I try to install cupsys. Reading package lists...
