I'd like to have my debian box take over priting services from an
aging SunOS box.
The SunOS box is using lpd and a filter script which calles 'prtcp'
to send the print job to the printer which is hanging off the LAN and

How do I accomplish the same under Debian 1.3.

The new version of tcpdump in rex-updates depends on libpcap0, a package
which is not in rex (1.2).
libpcap0 should either be added to rex-updates, or a different version
of tcpdump that doesn't require it should be placed in rex-updates.
