Description Konstantin Lysenko 2010-11-14 17:22:02 UTC
if you try to install stable net-print/cups 1.3.11-r3 on new gentoo system then compilation fail because cups cannot find /usr/bin/pdftpps.

/usr/pin/pdftops this is file from app-text/poppler

for install app-text/poppler you should install net-print/cups 1.3.11-r3 first.

But you can't install net-print/cups 1.3.11-r3 because it need /usr/pin/pdftops from app-text/poppler etc.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install new gentoo linux.
2. run emerge cups


Actual Results:  
compilation fails because of unsatisfied dependence to pdftops

Expected Results:  
installed cups

workaround: install unstable cups-1.4.4-r2
It's very strange that stable cups cannot be installed, but unstable can. This type of logic too complex for me.

May be stable and unstable cups should be exchanged?

My workaround was to check the packages available here:
http://packages.gentoo.org/package/net-print/cups

Installing cups r2 (instead of the default r3) with "emerge =net-print/cups-1.3.11-r2" will install cups and app-text/poppler without an issue

After that you can emerge the r3 version with just "emerge cups" and you'll be good to go, would be nice to have the circular dependency corrected though.

Another workaround is to run "emerge -1 poppler" before updating cups.
Comment 5 Konstantin Lysenko 2010-11-28 10:43:02 UTC
I doubt that "run "emerge -1 poppler" before updating cups." will work, because poppler depend from cups, but in this bug you haven't cups installed yet.
Comment 6 Kris Hepler 2010-11-29 11:37:01 UTC
Cups is brought in by qt and gtk+ libraries.  Emerge cups and poppler like so:

USE="-qt4 -cairo" emerge -1 poppler && emerge -N1 poppler

And even though it doesn't solve the problem, the net-print/cups-1.3.11-r3 ebuild needs a poppler DEPEND.

Fixed properly in -r4
