Description Scott Lemke 2003-09-01 20:12:18 UTC

When trying to emerge OpenOffice with a USE variable of -cups, It still tries to
pull in cups support. This is due to the virtual/lpr dependency not being
negated for some reason.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set USE="-cups"
2.emerge -p openoffice
3.notice how cups and all its requirements are pulled in

Actual Results:  
I poked around in the ebuild script and found the virtual/lpr line, removed it
and it removed wanting to install cups

Expected Results:  
picked up the -cups USE variable and taken the right steps


Could be an issue in connecting virtual/lpr to cups

This will remove the dep on cups, but it will probably not disable support for cups in openoffice. Any 
idea how to disable this in the oo ./configure ?

Openoffice does not directlz need cups, but it needs a printer client. I do not know in howfar that is actually needed for building and operation though. The fact that it pulls in cups has to do with the fact that that is the default satisfier for virtual/lpr.

I don't know what to do about this. In the future I will try to look into
whether this lpr dependency is waranted. In the meantime you could try to
build openoffice with --nodeps and see whether it compiles correctly.
