hi.
I am having canon LBP2900B model printer and using ubuntu 10.04.
downloaded driver for my model from canon site. download consists of
cndrvcups-common.deb,cndrvcups-capt.deb files.
when installing cups-common got this.
root at balaji-desktop:/media/SETUP/linux
packages/CANON_UK/Driver/Debian# dpkg -i
cndrvcups-common_1.90-1_i386.deb
Selecting previously deselected package cndrvcups-common.
(Reading database ... 141663 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking cndrvcups-common (from cndrvcups-common_1.90-1_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of cndrvcups-common:
cndrvcups-common depends on libcupsys2 (>= 1.1.23); however:
Package libcupsys2 is not installed.
dpkg: error processing cndrvcups-common (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
cndrvcups-common
it shows i need to install libcupsys2,so tried to install
libcupsys2,it gives the following
root at balaji-desktop:/media/SETUP/linux
packages/CANON_UK/Driver/Debian# apt-get install libcupsys2
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting libcups2 instead of libcupsys2
libcups2 is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 351 not upgraded.
on google i found that libcupsys2 renamed as libcups2, but the
cups-common drives needs to satisfy libcupsys2 dependency.
now on google found "we have to satisfy libcupsys2 name dependency
only and it is not functionally needed,so download and install dummy
package libcupsys2 from security.ubuntu.com."
downloaded libcupsys2 and tried to install. then
root at balaji-desktop:/home/balaji/Downloads# dpkg -i libcupsys2.deb
dpkg: regarding libcupsys2.deb containing libcupsys2:
libcups2 conflicts with libcupsys2 (<< 1.3.7-6)
libcupsys2 (version 1.3.7-1ubuntu3.12) is to be installed.
dpkg: error processing libcupsys2.deb (--install):
conflicting packages - not installing libcupsys2
Errors were encountered while processing:
libcupsys2.deb
libcups2 conflicts with libcupsys2, i tried to remove libcups2 and
install libcupsys2 but libcups2 is needed for lot of other
applications. so i cant remove libcups2.
What can i do now?
