Description Chris Smith 2005-05-22 07:41:06 UTC
Printing breaks, mime.types is empty, unpacking error as well:
>>> Unpacking pdftops.pl to /var/tmp/portage/cups-1.1.23-r3/work
unpack pdftops.pl: file format not recognized. Ignoring.

And the RDEPEND of xpdf is all wrong - prevents CUPS from being installed
without X which is not desired for a server.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge cups-1.1.23-r3
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
printing broken

I refused to install it on servers as it wanted to install X as well.

patch to fix b0rked mime.[types,convs] files

This patch fixes the problem with the cups mime.types and mime.convs files.
I'm not sure it's such a great idea to allow raw printing by default. Many
users will not need this exposure and this area is well doumented.

However, non-optional default use of an alternate pdftops filter doesn't seem
like a great idea. Especially since it wants to install X.
If the filter is that much better make it optional and handle it without the X
install.
