You made it hard for yourself. It would have been sufficient to have downloaded cups-filters from unstable and installed it with 'dpkg -i'. You could still do this after purging the cups-filters you have. > My reasoning for leaving the apt pkg installed was because I wanted apt to > still upgrade when a new version comes out. The version you install with 'dpkg -i' will still be upgraded if there is a higher version available. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
