Comment 142 for bug 25966

Saïvann, your transitional packages (at lest for the "laser" LPD driver) are broken. They depend on the non-existing package "brother-lpr-wrapper-laser". They must depend on "brother-lpr-drivers-laser". Please check this for all packages and create update packages with this problem fixed.

Steve, these transitional packages make an auto-update replacing Brother's original Debian packages by the new Ubuntu-adapted packages.

Brother provides around 100 Debian and RPM packages, for each of their printers an individual package. Therefore Saïvanns driver package suite contains so many transitional packages. Brother's packages often conflict with each other, which makes only one at a time installable. So a user cannot connect two different Brother printers to one and the same computer when using Brother's original packages. Saïvanns packages solve this problem. Files which are used by all Brother printers are in the -common package and in addition, Brother's printers are put into classes of printers which use the same driver code and so only a few packages server for all Brother printers and you can install them all at once and run the whole line of Brother printers on one computer.
