[Henry Garcia]

Version: 2.6.1-6
Severity: important
Tags: d-i

Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
installing a usb postscript printer (Samsung ML-2571N)
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
Printer installed and works but had to kill the cupsd postinstall script to
continue with the dpkg configuration process.
   * What was the outcome of this action?
The cupsd post install was killed and the remaining packages configured and
were set up. However, dpkg continues to find that the cups-pdg has not been
successfully configured.
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
cups-pdf to configure without hanging up in an endless loop.
