Stefan, note also that I have dropped the upstream package foomatic- filters-ppds with the release of Foomatic 4.0.x. So it should be removed from Debian and not be recommended or even required by any other package. The packages which replace foomatic-filters-ppds are foomatic- db, foomatic-db-engine, and foomatic-filters. With the first two installed CUPS auto-generates the PPDs needed for this driver, the third provides the foomatic-rip filter.
If you want to continue to have a foomatic-filters-ppds package in Debian, especially for users of non-CUPS printing systems, do the following: - Let foomatic-filters-ppds build-depend on foomatic-db and foomatic-db-engine - Let foomatic-filters-ppds pre-build all PPDs at build time using the foomatic-compiledb command. - Let the foomatic-filters-ppds binary package depend on foomatic-filters Do not let any package exclusively suggest, recommend, or even require foomatic-filters-ppds, as many users want to have the PPD auto- generation concept of CUPS as it saves a lot of disk space. Let it suggest, recommend, or require (foomatic-db AND foomatic-db-engine AND foomatic-filters) OR foomatic- filters-ppds -- Please merge min12xxw 0.0.9-2 (universe) from Debian unstable (main) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/384653 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
