Here is some additional information.
'apt policy cups' returned:
cups:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 2.1.3-4
Version table:
2.1.3-4ubuntu0.2 0
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
2.1.3-4 500
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages
I once had a dpkg problem like this, so I tried 'sudo dpkg -P cups'. After that
'apt policy cups' returned:
cups:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 2.1.3-4
Version table:
2.1.3-4 500
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages
I assumed that this change would help things along, but
'sudo apt clean'
'sudo apt update'
'sudo apt install cups'
still resulted in:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
cups : Depends: libcups2 (= 2.1.3-4) but 2.1.3-4ubuntu0.2 is to be installed
Depends: libcupscgi1 (>= 1.4.2) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libcupsmime1 (>= 1.4.0) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: cups-core-drivers (>= 2.1.3-4)
Depends: cups-daemon (>= 2.1.3-4)
Recommends: colord
Recommends: printer-driver-gutenprint but it is not going to be
installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I did check the policy again afterward to see whether it had changed; it
had not.
