[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#510882: cups-pdf: False dependency on cups-client breaks mixed CUPS/LPRng installations

[Steve Kostecke]

Package: cups-pdf
Version: 2.4.8-3
Severity: important

I run a mixed LPRng and CUPS printing environment.

After upgrading from Etch to Lenny I discovered that lprng was removed
because cups-pdf now depends on cups-client.

I modified the cups-pdf package to remove the dependency on cup-client
and now have it installed alongside lprng.

Please remove this un-needed dependency or, at least, change it to
recommends.
