CUPS update fails with poppler-utils dependance, but the correct poppler is installed.

[Duane Chamblee]

Binary package hint: synaptic

Update manager fails with "could not apply changes, fix broken packages first". When Cups is deselected, then it starts the update, but quits quickly and returns to the "update" screen with all the updates still listed.

Synaptic doesn't show all the update manager updates, but cups is prevented from installing because of poppler-utils dependency. The dependency is for the version currently installed.

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

DO WORK! Possibly something only particular to Update manager or synaptic?

This machine was upgraded from Hardy to Jaunty, and the upgrade broke. It took some time for me to get the system back to updating at all.
