Trouble installing cups, cups-driver-gutenprint, and ssl-cert


Hello,

I've been researching this issue for a while now with no success.

Output from 'aptitude install cups':
Code:
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  cups cups-driver-gutenprint{a} ssl-cert{a} 
0 packages upgraded, 3 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Hi, Chris,

After a quick Google search, that "unterminated 's' command" shows up in several places and associated with installation attempts of several different packages. I think my first suggestion is that you make sure you're up to date with the current Debian package installers.

Good luck!

post your sources.list, the only reason to have this problem is either mixing releases or a messed up sources.list
