Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2006-01-12 01:09:59 UTC
acroread-7.0.5 has net-print/cups as one of its dependencies, blocking lprng. However, acroread should not impose the use of a specific printing system.

In my case, I must have lprng installed since I cannot use cups in our network environment.
Comment 1 Herbie Hopkins (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-01-12 04:56:31 UTC
Acroread dlopens libcups.so when you open the print dialog and will segfault if it's not found (which is the reason for the dep). I've added a binary libcups.so to 7.0.5-r1 that gets installed with USE="-cups" and the dependancy is now conditional on USE="cups".
