Any advice? > To fix: cvsup your ports (or ftp the tarball, if you prefer, from one of the mirrors). http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html If the problem still exists, then write the port maintainer about the problem. (A more recent copy of the Makefile on my system looks like at least the cups-base port is properly pulled in.) For more information regarding the ports system and installing software: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html Using the 2.2.8a package from ftp works here, though I have recent copies of both dependencies installed here. Or, workaround: Install the dependencies manually. (not sure if they're on the release.) (In ports, print/cups-base and graphics/png.) Packages on ftp are for later releases. I'm not sure if it will work and leaves you with possible bugs; I recommend the first course of action.
