As said, fakedebconf has been replaced - I'm not an expert but I say trust that. As for "mp-fremantle-002"... are you still on PR1.2? Update your firmware already. That's always better than not updating firmware. The longer you wait there more app updates will end up making their way down to you that in some way depends on PR1.3 packages.

Wrong. See this quote below?

The package name changed, as I understand it, between PR1.2 and PR1.3. Also, I wouldn't be too optimistic in the future of a hypothetical PR1.4. Even if it comes, by the time it does so many users will be on CSSU that there will be a rather basic explanation thread for how to put the mp-fremantle-whatever hook packages back in within a day or two.

That said, what I don't like about this is that it SOUNDS like someone is trying to make a forced-upgrade decision for the users with the CUPS thing, by trying to remove the mp-fremantle-002-pr package. Not sure if that would even work, as one would think it'd be better to instead make PR1.3 a dependency, if forced upgrading was your goal... *Shrug*

Now the most important comment, @ demolition: YES. That's exactly my logic. Why, honestly, not print from the N900 when you can? It's infinitely easier, especially if the N900 is already something you use to carry around files, and it cuts out one middle-man whenever you need to print something. Plus it adds to that beautiful bonus of being able to pull out your device and do something that no one would ever think of being doable from a phone.

I just wish someone would make, say, Open/Libre Office ported properly onto the N900, without needing to run it from within a chroot (I'm getting better at compiling, so maybe some day I'll do it, but for now, I'm still unable to compile GIMP to actually run, and in my newb-like guess based on what I read on the project's respective sites, that's easier to do than compiling OpenOffice/LibreOffice). Since as nice as FreOffice is, it doesn't come with easy-to-use printing support, nor all the formatting options one would want on a finalized document.
