Yay, him! :D What I do for something like this (when I don't know something like that cupsys is no longer) is I go down the line trying to install the various packages by themselves, too. Sometimes (aka *not always*) that will trigger my favored package manager to install the newer version replacement as part of the dependency functions of the various package installers... When that doesn't work, I regress to attempting a package manager query using only outstanding pieces of the name (e.g. "gutenprint") related to whatever package appears to no longer be available. AND/OR.... Another angle of attack is to query for the "depends" and "rdepends" (reverse depends) of any notable package names among the list I might be trying to install. An example is that i just tried "printer-driver-gutenprint": +++++++++++ candycane@northpole:~$ apt-cache depends printer-driver-gutenprint printer-driver-gutenprint Depends: libc6 Depends: libcups2 Depends: libcupsimage2 Depends: libgutenprint2 Depends: libusb-1.0-0 Depends: cups Depends: cups-client |Depends: cups-filters Depends: <ghostscript-cups> Suggests: gutenprint-doc Suggests: gutenprint-locales candycane@northpole:~$ apt-cache rdepends printer-driver-gutenprint printer-driver-gutenprint Reverse Depends: gutenprint-doc printer-driver-all-enforce printer-driver-all cups parl-desktop-strict cups-daemon +++++++++++ Just thinking out loud........ Most definitely not as succinctly as Brian. *indubitably* Cindy :) -- Cindy-Sue Causey Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA * runs with.... masking tape, too... *
