Solved cups-base-1.5.4_1 is marked as broken

[kAldown]

Hi there.

When I

# portsnap fetch update
# make install clean -C /usr/ports/print/cups

there were some strange output:

cups-base-1.5.4_1 is marked as broken

and told me to see http://www.avahi.org/ticket/303.

Interesting that

pkg install cups
Updating repository catalogue
pkg: No packages matching 'cups' available in the repositories

As http://www.freshports.org/print/cups/ told me, I am doing right steps.

So, how to use my hp laserjet 1020 instead of using cups and foo2zjs, on XFCE4.

Thanks a lot!

Are you using any specific repositories other than the official one for FreeBSD? Just did an update and on my end print/cups-base sits at 1.5.4 and is not marked as broken.

root@smtp2:/usr/ports/print/cups-base #make -C ../cups run-depends-list
/usr/ports/print/cups-base
/usr/ports/print/cups-pstoraster

What does the output of grep SERVERNAME /etc/portsnap.conf give on your end?

It's only BROKEN if you build it with AVAHI turned on (or if you're on IA-64 but that's unlikely), which is why it's off by default. make config and turn off AVAHI. It should build after that.
