Bug 222763 – net-print/cups trys to pull support for zeroconf when zeroconf disabled

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Caleb Cushing 2008-05-19 05:24:06 UTC]

* In order to have cups working with avahi zeroconf support, you need
 * to have net-dns/avahi emerged with "mdnsresponder-compat" in your USE
 * flag. Please add that flag, re-emerge avahi, and then emerge cups again.
 *
 * ERROR: net-print/cups-1.3.7-r1 failed.
 * Call stack:
 *               ebuild.sh, line   49:  Called pkg_setup
 *    cups-1.3.7-r1.ebuild, line   84:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *              die "net-dns/avahi is missing the mdnsresponder-compat feature."
 *  The die message:
 *   net-dns/avahi is missing the mdnsresponder-compat feature.
 *
 * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.
 * A complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/net-print/cups-1.3.7-r1/temp/build.log'.
 * The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/net-print/cups-1.3.7-r1/temp/die.env'.

See the die message: "net-dns/avahi is missing the mdnsresponder-compat feature."

You have avahi installed on your system and the avahi USE flag set for cups, but you need to recompile avahi with USE="mdnsresponder-compat" set in order to compile a avahi enabled cups.

If you don't want zeroconf support at all you also have to disable the avahi USE flag for cups as well.

(More information regarding avahi/zeroconf in cups can be found over at bug #198267.)
