Package: system-config-printer
Version: 0.7.70-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
User: ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu maverick ubuntu-patch

Bug first reported in Ubuntu by Matthew Paul Thomas:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/+bug/554174

*****
Ubuntu Lucid, all updates installed

1. In Ubuntu Software Center, navigate to "Get Software"
  > "Developer Tools" > "Python".
2. Scroll through the list.

What happens: "Printing"/"Configure Printers"
 (system-config-printer-gnome) appears in the list.

What should happen: It shouldn't be there.

This is because the system-config-printer-gnome package has "Section: python",
 which it should not. 

It's nothing particularly to do with Python,
 it just happens to be written in that language.

I suggest changing to "Section: gnome".
*** 

The problem also exists in Maverick Ubunu.

Attaching a patch to fix the problem
Kindly apply the patch and update the section
