I have been getting the following errors whenever I install updates. To try and resolve I have tried to purge the old versions, force reinstall and to no avail the errors continue. Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem? Preparing to replace cups 1.5.3-0ubuntu6 (using .../cups_1.5.3-0ubuntu8_amd64.deb) ...
