Description Richard H. 2014-02-16 10:44:54 UTC
I have an old ebuild, for m2300w. It used to work with foomatic-filters, which is now deprecated and unmaintained. So I tried to switch to cups-filters[foomatic] - which breaks it because it cannot find foomatic-rip. However, the manpage is there. So what's happening? Is foomatic-rip gone? If so, why does the manpage stay behind?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge cups-filters[Foomatic]
2. look for foomatic-rip
Actual Results:  
file not found

Expected Results:  
the file should be there, the man page is there too.
Comment 1 Andreas K. Hüttel archtester gentoo-dev 2014-02-16 13:42:15 UTC
what's the output of

equery belongs foomatic-rip

where is the m2300w ebuild from?
Comment 2 Richard H. 2014-02-16 13:54:18 UTC
# equery b foomatic-rip
 * Searching for foomatic-rip ... 
net-print/cups-filters-1.0.43-r1 (/usr/libexec/cups/filter/foomatic-rip)

Okay... So it's found... but not by the ebuild? I'll try and look for the error.

The ebuild is from the sunrise overlay. It errs out with:

checking for foomatic-rip... no
ERROR: This driver requires foomatic-rip.
Please install the 'foomatic-filters' package first.
See http://www.linuxprinting.org/foomatic.html
(Some distributions, e.g. SuSE, deliver foomatic-rip with CUPS)

So, I looked in a backup:

# cat /var/db/pkg/net-print/foomatic-filters-4.0.17/CONTENTS

sym /usr/libexec/cups/filter/foomatic-gswrapper -> /usr/bin/foomatic-gswrapper 1375821537


What's missing is:
dir /etc
dir /etc/foomatic
dir /etc/foomatic/direct
obj /etc/foomatic/filter.conf.sample c6f87d357f5180c968bb98bd58234291 1375821513

sym /usr/libexec/cups/filter/foomatic-gswrapper -> /usr/bin/foomatic-gswrapper 1375821537

I am guessing what's missing is /usr/bin/foomatic-rip.
Comment 3 Manuel Rüger (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-02-16 14:08:08 UTC
from configure.in:

AC_PATH_PROG(FOOMATIC_RIP,foomatic-rip,,[/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/bin:$PATH])

I think if you add the correct path there, it should work.

Probably old foomatic installed foomatic-rip also to /usr/bin?
Comment 4 Richard H. 2014-02-16 14:15:25 UTC
It looks a lot like that.

Is there some special ebuild command to add /usr/libexec/cups/filter to the search path? I can't find any configure flag for this. However, I found this in configure:

ac_cv_path_FOOMATIC_RIP="$FOOMATIC_RIP" # Let the user override the test with a path.

So I should be able to set some environment variable? How do I do this in the ebuild?

Comment 6 Francisco J. Vazquez 2017-02-13 12:01:02 UTC
With the new ebuild foomatic-rip is a link to itself.... after updating to 1.13.3-r1 this is the situation:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Feb 13 13:00 /usr/bin/foomatic-rip -> /usr/libexec/cups/filter/foomatic-rip
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Feb 13 13:00 /usr/libexec/cups/filter/foomatic-rip -> /usr/bin/foomatic-rip

Without the explicit dosym added in -r1 everything is fine:

$ ll $(find /usr -name foomatic-rip)
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     37 Feb 13 12:54 ./bin/foomatic-rip -> /usr/libexec/cups/filter/foomatic-rip
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 106232 Feb 13 12:54 ./libexec/cups/filter/foomatic-rip
Comment 7 Juergen Rose 2017-02-14 17:50:28 UTC
Here with cups-filters-1.13.3-r1 /usr/libexec/cups/filter/foomatic-rip is a link  to /usr/bin/foomatic-rip, which does not exist.

This broken link disables printing on my systems. It would be very good if this issue is fixed.

That's counterproductive, sorry. 

Fixing in separate bug.
