Also worked for me on 8.10 with corrupted 'cups' package. I had a
complication in that at some point some files from the dpkg package,
which was also pending an upgrade, disappeared. I had to download the
old .deb file and extract and copy the missing files manually, then
upgrade dpkg to the latest version, before updating the rest of the system.
