Bug#568477: Please update to latest upstream version with udev support

[Michael Biebl]

Package: system-config-printer
Version: 1.0.0-6
Severity: normal

Hi,

hal-cups-utils is installed in a default GNOME install which drags in
hal as dependency. Please consider updating system-config-printer to the
latest upstream version which obsoletes and replaces hal-cups-utils by
providing udev rules and callouts.
Ubuntu has packaged this as system-config-printer-udev, which
conflicts/replaces hal-cups-utils, so this would need coordination with
the hal-cups-utils package maintainer.


Cheers,
Michael
