How about "apt-get dist-upgrade"?  The Replaces/Conflicts removal mechanism
used here is so basic that even dpkg can do the automatic removal, without
any need for apt-get/aptitude.  I'm *very* surprised that aptitude is
failing here.

Does "full-upgrade" work as expected?

% apt-cache show cups-driver-gutenprint
Package: cups-driver-gutenprint
Version: 5.2.3-2
Replaces: cupsys-driver-gutenprint
Depends: [...]
Suggests: [...]
Conflicts: cupsys-driver-gutenprint
