You can rebuild the gnome-cups-manager / libgnomecups packages by doing: sudo apt-get build-dep libgnomecups sudo apt-get build-dep gnome-cups-manager apt-get source libgnomecups apt-get source gnome-cups-manager
the sources for the two packages (and the build dependencies) will be downloaded and extracted in corresponding directories. Now... 1) For gnome-cups-manager, copy the patch file in debian/patches directory and then, from the source base directory (ex. gnome-cups- manager-0.31) issue: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b after compilation, you'll find the .deb package in the parent directory 2) For libgnomecups, copy the patch file in the base directory of the source (ex. libgnomecups-0.2.2), then cd into that directory and use patch -p1 < nameofthepatch.patch to apply the patch (supposing that you saved the patch as nameofthepatch.patch). Now you can build the package with dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b Finally you can install both packages with: sudo dpkg -i packagename Beware that the version number will be unchanged and the update-manager will advertise both packages as upgradable. -- unable to change printer name https://launchpad.net/bugs/8023 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
