Hello there,
I currently have installed cloudprint-daemon-git from the aur, and it depends on pycups. This used to be provided by python2-pycups, at least until version 1.9.66-2.
Now, updating my systems brings python2-pycups 1.9.68-1, which doesn't provide pycups anymore.
Another package depending on pycups was system-config-printer, but apparently its newer version dropped this dependency, and instead only relied on python-pycups directly.
Is there a reason why pycups was introduced ? What is the best move for cloudprint-daemon now ? To depend on python2-pycups directly ?
Thanks !

It provided "pycups" for backward compatibility until packages updated their dependencies to the new name. You're just way behind.

But that doesn't solve the problem with cloudprint-daemon.

Looks like that package needs updating, if current maintainer doesn't respond to the out-of-date flag for a while (say 2 weeks), you can request it to be orphaned so you (or someone else) can take over.
Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
