reopen 533186 !
severity 533186 serious
thanks
Sorry, but cups depends on ghostscript-cups since it cannot work without
it.
Fixing the circular dependency is a good thing to do, and I agree it is
an important bug, but I encourage you to fix it in a way that complies
with the policy.
Recommends
This declares a strong, but not absolute, dependency.
The Recommends field should list packages that would be found
together with this one in all but unusual installations.
“No file can be printed” is not an “unusual” installation. It is a
broken one. Recommends are here to allow setups with lower
functionality, not completely broken setups.
Please make ghostscript-cups a Depends. We’ll think on how to fix the
circular dependency when at the very least the package works.
Thanks,
