I have downloaded the three packages and use GDebi to install. If I try to install for example cups-core-drivers_2.1.3-4ubuntu0.2_amd64, I get the error that there are unmet dependencies for libcups2 (=2.1.3-4ubuntu0.2).beetm wrote:Are you trying to install these .deb files after downloading them and installing them manually from the site quoted?
I suspect you're trying to do it via apt (via synaptic or terminal).
Presumably the libcups2 you have is the 2.1.3-4ubuntu0.2 right?
If so installing the three files would match libcups2 on your system.

Ok. It sounds like you might have a slightly different problem then. (Possibly still based off of the update perhaps).wht66cld wrote:

cups is already the newest version (2.1.3-4).
0 att uppgradera, 0 att nyinstallera, 0 att ta bort och 41 att inte uppgradera.
This all started earlier this week when I needed to print an invoice. Printer didn't work, so I opened http://localhost:631/admin to see what was going on with my printer. Lo and behold. There was no cups there at all! So I installed cups again the way I normally install stuff, using the terminal. Had cups back alright and installed my printer again. it was there and I could see that cups was communicating with it all right, but when I attempt to print a test page the light on my printer blinks, but nothing comes out. So I guess cups-filters must be wrong, right?

Thanks, yes you have a slightly different problem than the solutions posted here.
Yes, looks like your problem is with cups-filters.

Think he's already tried installing cups-daemon_2.1.3-4ubuntu0.2 along with cups-core-drivers and cups. This is a slightly different problem and may need it's own separate thread.Habitual wrote:I heard this works.

Re: CUPS update 2.1.3-4ubuntu0-2 produces error [SOLVED]
It seams they pushed wrong packages in the repos, then they removed them and we got this mess.
To actually solve the issue, you need to go in synaptic and downgrade packages untill the system is happy again. Be careful not to remove half your system.
The easiest solution would be to simply reinstall.... B[

Re: CUPS update 2.1.3-4ubuntu0-2 produces error [SOLVED]
apt still complains about broken packages?
what's the error?
A correction from before, installing these, should get the system like it was:

Re: CUPS update 2.1.3-4ubuntu0-2 produces error [SOLVED]
I faced the same problem and after trying all the suggestions without any resolution, I just did a reinstall of Mint to resolve my lack of printing.
Re: CUPS update 2.1.3-4ubuntu0-2 produces error [SOLVED]
Exactly what happened, was that the maintainers uploaded the wrong files in the repos, then they just removed them. (they should instaid have uploaded the good packages with higher version numbers in my opinion)
So, as long as you remove all the alien packages, your system should get fixed. Added complication in this, is that the mirrors took some time to propagate the changes.
And if you fiddled with the packages trying to fix them, you might complicated the breakage....
I guess reinstalling is the least stressful thing to do.

Re: CUPS update 2.1.3-4ubuntu0-2 produces error [SOLVED]
I give up and will make a clean install of Linux Mint in a few days when I have the time. As you say, it's the least stressful and most simple solution. Still somewhat disappointing that it was allowed to happen in the first place. Thanks for your effort in helpingHouchou wrote:I guess reinstalling is the least stressful thing to do.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread. It was good to know that it wasn't me who had messed things up, and it was even better to find out that there are knowledgeable people on here who are willing to help us numpties out.
BIG thank you guys!

Re: CUPS update 2.1.3-4ubuntu0-2 produces error [SOLVED]
For sake of being overly anal
Package manager is viewing v 2.1.3-4xxx0.2 as a newer version than 2.1.3-4, so is trying to upgrade to latest, thus borkage that's going on. Am sure using "apt-get install - t" or one of the cmds to tell apt or aptitude to install a specific version or force'ing it should fixy.
Also betting (know) someone could download the deb for problem package and install w Gdebi or "dpkg -i", then put the sucker on hold if want to be overly sure it doesn't get upgraded. Until this cups mess blows over.
Might even simply be able to rename the download something like 2.1.3-4.03 and trick apt etc into seeing it as a newer version ? Though that last one is just a madcap, wonder if it'd work brainfart.
edit: afterthought nope wouldn't work, would put someone right back in the need 2.1.3-4 situation a bunch of the other junk will work fine.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
cups : Depends: libcups2 (= 2.1.3-4) but 2.1.3-4ubuntu0.2 is to be installed
