Description Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2012-03-24 13:11:28 UTC
Still depending on gtk/glib:1, debian removed it at 2005 saying it wasn't updated for 5 years (that means, no update since 2000):

pup -- Printer Utility Program [#202232]
  orphaned 690 days ago, upstream about 5 years old, which probably
  means that none of the supported printers is sold (and perhaps even
  used) anymore, very small install base

Looks to segfault on amd64:

If this is not really needed, I think we should mask it for removal.

Reproducible: Always

Let's keep it for now with only x86 keyword, seems to work there.
