Comment 27 for bug 883585

Martin,

After setting up oneiric-proposed as per your link and running:

$ sudo aptitude install cups/oneiric-proposed

aptitude wanted to update/remove over 500 packages that were not in the proposed repository. Obviously I said NO to this. If it only wanted to update 6 or 7 packages I'd have done it, but 500 make me a bit queasy.

Sorry, but this a non-starter for me, if there is a way to get around this issue and install the cups packages please let me know.
