A "partial" upgrade can sometimes help here. These are used if some
conflicts must be broken before continuing.

I didn't notice gnome-cups-manager had gone... I just thought it had got
better. Turns out, the new functionality is in the package
"system-config-printer".

If you still have problems with the upgrade, try from a terminal:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
and
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

(If it complains of any conflicts, or tries to remove hundreds of
packages, post which here).

Hope the upgrade goes smoothly!
