we need to figure out how to keep foomatic-db from installing sources for drivers that provide them themselves or we do remove the foomaticdb use flag on drivers. I am curious, how did this happen? Why was foomaticdb USE flag enabled and foomatic-db emerged? And which of the solutions would you prefer?
you usually do not need those if you are not a developer. Thanks, I removed the dupes from foomatic-db anyways.
