Here's the error I get when I try to install libscup:

 libcups2-dev : Dipende: libcups2 (= 1.5.0-8) ma la versione 1.5.0-8ubuntu5 sta per essere installata
E: Impossibile correggere i problemi, ci sono pacchetti danneggiati bloccati.

Which in english shoul be:

libcups2-dev: Depends: libcups2 (= 1.5.0-8) but the version 1.5.0-8ubuntu5 is going to be installed.
E: Impossible to fix the errors, there are blocked damaged packages.

I hope the translation is correct, I'm not very good in english.

Thanks,
Alex
