Hmmm - can't explain that right now and I don't have a sid system around
to investigate ... Either someone else provides some clues, or I'll use
other means to gather additional information.

Btw - The two commands do exactly the same and you might take a look at
[1] to understand them. They essentially search for packages that
provide cupsys or gs-esp (if called with ~Pgs-esp)

Are you sure that you have the latest versions of these packages
installed? As you are installing an unsupported third-party deb of
unknown quality it might also be necessary to install the virtual
packages (i.e. cupsys/gs-esp) that should not be needed anymore because
they are provided by cups and ghostscript-x respectively.

The "cups" package in sid should provide "cupsys" [1]

Issue the following command:

aptitude search "?provides(cupsys)"

or

aptitude search "~Pcupsys"

to list all packages that provide cupsys.

The same holds true for gs-esp which is provided by "ghostscript-x" ...
So just make sure that you have those packages installed ...
