likewise, my printing system is screwed, tried to set up network
printing, modified some cups files.  I moved /etc/cups/client.conf to
/etc/cups/client.conf.bak and now I can talk to my printing system from
ubuntu, but when I uninstall and reinstall printconf, I get the same
error:

Setting up printconf (0.7.4.18) ...
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev): 0x0816e838
***
Unable to read printer database.  Please ensure the "foomatic-db"
package is
installed properly.

and foomatic-db is installed
