[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#320196: /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip: No such file or directory

[Mark Purcell]

Package: cupsys
Version: 1.1.23-11
Severity: important
Tags: patch

An issue which has cropped up a couple of times for me is the location
and availability of foomatic-rip.

I see that an additional comment has been included in README.Debian, but
still there are problems and only an obscure error message if you can
find it as to the problem.

I also note that foomatic-rip has moved from the Package foomatic-bin
(which doesn't exist in testing/unstable) to the Package
foomatic-filters, but still cupsys Suggests: foomatic-bin.

I would suggest that the relationship to foomatic-filters should at
least be a Recommends: as outlined in the attached patch:
