[Hardy] package cupsys 1.2.8-0ubuntu8 failed to downgrade from 1.3

[Wizkid]

Binary package hint: cupsys

Tried to downgrade Cupsys to 1.2.8 from 1.3 in ubuntu 8.04 but got this error at the end of configuration.

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg retured an error code (1)
ln: accessing '/usr/lib/cups/backend-available/dnsssd' : no such file or directory
dpkg: error processing cupsys (--configure):

The problem seems to come an unexisting script file, see the end of the given dpkg log:
Setting up cupsys (1.2.8-0ubuntu8) ...
ln: accessing `/usr/lib/cups/backend-available/dnssd': No such file or directory.

On Ubuntu 8.04 I have the script dnssd.
How did you make the downgrade?
Did you try to reinstall cupsys (1.2.8)?
