Steve, it could be a good idea for you to read the changelog more attentively:
cups-pdf (1.6.3-3) unstable; urgency=medium * Moved cupsys to Pre-Depends, to ensure that group lpadmin is created before the installation of cups-pdf (Closes: #286024). ...and no, the explanation is NOT bogus. Those dependencies DO need to be configured, *before* CUPS-PDF configuration can proceed. -- 8.04->9.04 cups-pdf prevents upgrade (pre-depends error) for some users https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/356781 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
