as of cups-1.1.23-r3, the ebuild wants to use empty /etc/cups/mime. {convs,types} files, which might cause problems with printing. This might be related to xpdf being emerged without the motif useflag, not sure, since I have no plans on installing X on my server to find out.

a diff on the two ebuilds shows this: - sed -i -e "s:#application/octet-stream:application/octet-stream" ${D}/etc/cups/mime.types - sed -i -e "s:#application/octet-stream:application/octet-stream" ${D}/etc/cups/mime.conv + dosed "s:#application/octet-stream:application/octet- stream:" /etc/cups/mime.types /etc/cups/mime.convs maybe something it that is causing problems
fixed in revision 1.3 see bug 93553
just to add - it was typo in one of the ebuild's dosed commands that wiped out the contents of mime.type and mime.convs cups didn't want those files empty the ebuild just hosed them
already fixed.
