It should work. That's the trick I used to play. Now I'm thinking that
your whole package management system is in some kind of weird stage now...

Anyone have any ideas why this doesn't work? Maybe I'll try reinstalling from scratch, just in case my pacakge db has gone all funky.
The interesting thing is that if I run aptitude or apt-get from the command line and only tell it to remove lpr and install cupsys-bsd, as opposed to listing all the package management changes that I want, it works:
# aptitude install lpr_ cupsys-bsd+
