Description Daniel Mettler 2005-12-17 05:57:53 UTC 
cups-1.1.23-r4.ebuild has the following rdepend line (which is also effective during emerge):

RDEPEND="${DEP}
    !virtual/lpr
    app-text/xpdf"

the hard dependency on "app-text/xpdf" is wrong here as this introduces (via xpdf) a hard dependency on X11. This of course is very wrong as cups runs nicely without X11 and there are quite many X11-less servers running out there that use cups.

We had the same bug a while ago already. It's really a bummer to see it being reintroduced once again. I wonder how it passed QA.

Please remove this silly app-text/xpdf hard dependency or make it a conditional/soft dependency so it only gets used if +X is set in use flags.

This bug seems to have been introduced with cups-1.1.23-r3.ebuild already.

TIA.
