I moved the files back in - and aptitude gives the output:

Failed to update any PPD files
Restarting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd.

I've inspected all three files. I can't be sure of twhere they come from
- but they're not gutenprint. However - (ref lower down) now that cupsd
restarts the upgrade completes. So - gutenprint is doing what it should.

Will do - but I believe that this is no longer an issue.

And there we are. I did look thru the cupsys gutenprint bugs - and
didn't spot it - I hadn't noticed that the actual error was coming from
cupsd itself.

I've only got one Port directive now - and cupsd restarted allowing the
upgrade to complete.

Can I just say thanks for such a helpful reply ? :)
