Hi, Heinz.  My apologies; I thought I had mentioned this is Hardy LTS -
8.0.4:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  cups-x2go: Depends: cups-client but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

root at jasiii:/# apt-cache search cups | grep client
cupsys-client - Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - client programs (SysV)

Am I correct to assume this is trivial to manually install? I would
assume I would:
download the orig tarball and patch
extract and apply patch
copy cups-x2go.conf to /etc/cups/
copy cups-x2go to /usr/lib/cups/backend/
copy CUPS-X2GO.ppd to usr/share/ppd/cups-x2go/
copy init.d.ex into /etc/init.d appropriately renamed with the links to
the rc directories.

However, I'm thrown off by the following line in the init script:
DAEMON=/usr/sbin/cups-x2go
Should cups-x2go be copied there, too, or does it go there instead
of /usr/lib/cups/backend?

This would be helpful to know as we may wind up using a CentOS cups
server rather than Debian - not sure yet.  Thanks - John
