[Bug 647460] Re: 10.04 -> 10.10: printconf/ebox-printers/foomatic-db-gutenprint block the upgrade

[Till Kamppeter]

for ebox-printers I have my doubts whether this software (ebox) is still
up-to-date. When I go to the home page http://ebox-platform.com I get
immediately redirected to http://www.zentyal.org/ and I get offered a
server platform named Zentyal. So it seems that the project has been
renamed.

I do not know whether the new software has an updated printing module.
The printing module of the ebox software as it is in Universe currently
at least directly access the local Foomatic XML database using the Perl
library of foomatic-db-engine. I do not know whether it polls PPD/driver
information from CUPS.If not, ebox-printers has a bug, but I cannot
report it as I never tested ebox

Here we probably also need a workaround in update-manager, but on the
long term a fix in Zentyal.

This is less problematic as users of ebox probably do not have ubuntu-
desktop installed.
