Public bug reported:
I'm no longer able to print. I'm not sure exactly when the problem
started. At some point, apt-get started listing some cups packages as no
longer needed. I tried to install cups (I don't know when it was removed
- I never removed it intentionally.) The installation fails.
sudo apt-get install cups
