cups-1.4.6-r1 fails to build when the usblp module is detected. A stupid decision, IMHO. I chose Gentoo because it let's me do what I think is right. In this case I have good reasons for still using usblp besides libusb. A warning would be absolutely sufficient. Reproducible: Always
i can confirm this check and fail too. i had to recompile my kernel. idk if its really recommend

*** Bug 365699 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Created attachment 271927 [details, diff] one possible fix This would fix the issue.
cups should fail in pkg_pretend() and not pkg_setup() after bug 365543 is fixed.
Maybe we could agree on »should warn in …« instead of »should fail in …«? This would be so much less annoying…
(In reply to comment #7) > Maybe we could agree on »should warn in …« instead of »should fail in …«? This > would be so much less annoying… It can warn, but for most users the printing WON'T work. And then they will open yet another round of bugs about "I can't print". Which is more annoying than forcing users to use working setup.
It's my decision, how I compile my kernel, not yours. If I ignore the warning, it's my fault. But if a package maintainer thinks, he needs to let the build fail, although it would compile and work (if handled correctly) just fine, I will keep blaiming that maintainer.
Full ACK. What about a USE=doofus (you could name it what you want… USE=expert for all I care) on all .config-depending ebuilds and enabling/disabling it by default? And with USE=-doofus or USE=expert the ebuild shouldn't give a hang about my .config.
There are patches out there that supposedly address the issue of incompatibility between libusb and kernel usb. http://www.cups.org/str.php?L3357 The discussion in this thread claims Ubuntu and Debian are already incorporating versions of this patch. I checked the Ubuntu diff file (cups_1.4.6-5ubuntu1.diff) for cups in Natty, and it does appear to contain a version of the patch (the diff file is an integrated patch, so I didn't research which version, other than to confirm it was there).
Printers wich use foo2zjs still need usblp to upload firmware, so maybe the ebuild can fail when usblp is compiled into kernel, and warn if it is compiled as module.
This bug is long obsolete, as the ebuild does not abort anymore (only warn aggressively).
Thank you!
