It should work. That's the trick I used to play. Now I'm thinking that
your whole package management system is in some kind of weird stage
now...
Nope, still just as dumb:
[update-tiem]: Command: aptitude -y -o

Some packages had unmet dependencies. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
tiem-cups-cfg: PreDepends: cupsys-bsd but it is not installable
ERROR: update-tiem returned non-zero exit code
Anyone have any ideas why this doesn't work? Maybe I'll try
reinstalling from scratch, just in case my pacakge db has gone all funky.
Nope, still just as dumb. I reinstalled from scratch, and aptitude
still couldn't understand that it was supposed to purge lpr before
installing cupsys-bsd.
The interesting thing is that if I run aptitude or apt-get from the
command line and only tell it to remove lpr and install cupsys-bsd, as
opposed to listing all the package management changes that I want, it works:
# aptitude install lpr_ cupsys-bsd+

Maybe the guys on the development list would understand this...?
