Bug Description

Binary package hint: hal-cups-utils

Please remove the source package "hal-cups-utils" from lucid and put it on the sync blacklist.

"hal-cups-utils" was removed from karmic with "obsoleted by udevified system-config-printer" and got now auto-synced.
But it fails to upload as the version currently in lucid (build from system-config-printer) is higher.
The "hal-cups-utils" build from system-config-printer is a transitional package to system-config-printer-udev.

Based on that it was removed once already, there currently a plan is to remove hal and that we need to do something to resolve which package builds it, IMHO it's better to remove it again.

Assigning to the Ubuntu Archive Administrators, only they can remove a package.

The package is discontinued due to the deprecation of HAL. Therefore I intended the permanent removal from Karmic on and created the transitional package in system-config-printer so that an automatic switchover is performed for all updates from Jaunty and older to Karmic and newer. The switchover worked without problems for Karmic users.

Please make sure that the package gets really removed from the archives.
