cupsys : forbidden

I'm getting into a real jam.
When I did the whole upgrade thing, cupsys disappeared from view and uninstalled.
I couldn't install it because it wasn't found using apt-get/dselect/aptitude
after several apt-get update cycles.
So I downloaded the package from the debian website (stable) and installed it.

No this is all I get.

It's worked for three years prior to this without any failure or issues.
Now I can't do a thing.
Starting to look like a purge and reinstall is my only option because the
configuration files don't look anything alike in format or form. new one has no
notes on the settings.
