Well - all I am doing is what I expected to do.
I have just done the update, upgrade, install -f, upgrade and
dist-upgrade again and it still fails
I don't have a modified install
The last time I had this problem, a month or so back, the same situation
occured for a week or so and then it went away only to return again.
That time I checked the dependency list (can't remember exactly how) and
yes the dependancy was set to "=1.7.4.4" and I wondered if it should
have been ">=" but didn't fiddle as I don't know the insides of it all.
CUPS has continued working so it wasn't an issue but it appears to
prevent a dist-upgrade so it will be a problem.
