It must have compiled OK for me as I already have cups-pdf-2.5.0 installed which appears to be the same version. I heard some rumour that it was failing on ubuntu but not on freebsd. Is there any truth in that? Is there any provision to ensure that something which should be marked as broken for ubuntu is not, in consequence,automatically marked as broken when on freebsd? dns1# pkg_info |grep cups cups-base-1.4.2_3 Common UNIX Printing System: Server cups-client-1.4.2_3 Common UNIX Printing System: Library cups cups-image-1.4.2_3 Common UNIX Printing System: Library cupsimage cups-pdf-2.5.0 A virtual printer for CUPS to produce PDF files cups-pstoraster-8.15.4_4 Postscript interpreter for CUPS printing to non-PS printers cups-samba-6.0_2 The Common UNIX Printing System: MS Windows client drivers cups-smb-backend-1.0_2 A CUPS backend for printing to Windows servers gnome-cups-manager-0.31_10,1 Admistration tool for cups gutenprint-cups-5.2.4 GutenPrint Printer Driver libgnomecups-0.2.3_2,1 Support library for gnome cups admistration py26-cups-1.9.46 CUPS bindings for Python dns1#
