About a b0rked ebuild.
Basically a heads up to not install or upgrade to the ebuild in the subject.
Plus a note that a bug has been filed in case anyone is concerned or wants to know more.
Is there something not clear about the post?

Hehe, yes. First you didn't mention *what* is wrong with the ebuild. Second you didn't link the bug.

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.

Printing issues solved.
But it (1.1.23-r3) still requires an alternate pdftops, a replacement for the official cups pdftops filter, which requires xpdf which with a -motif use flag no longer needs X but still will cause
media-libs/t1lib
media-fonts/gnu-gs-fonts-std
app-text/ghostscript
media-libs/freetype
app-text/xpdf to be installed on your server.
I can't quite see the logic in this.

1.1.23-r4 still wants xpdf (and the whole x server)
I would be happy if somebody could change that.
I can remove xpdf from the ebuild and install cups but after new sync portage wants to install x again.
So please...

I was able to get rid of it by adding -sdl to my USE variables (along with -X -gtk -gnome -qt -alsa -qtmt -pdflib -truetype -dga -gpm). Sadly, I'm not sure which of the rest of those is also necessary for convincing cups to not install X for me. (Same situation - I'm running a headless server so don't want X on it at all). But untitl I added -sdl to the mix, it kept trying to install X.
The wierd thing is I think it might have been someothing in mysql somewhere that wanted to use sdl (the simple direct media layer). This is because every time I typed in 'emerge -uDp cups' it would end up updpating mysql as well.
I hope this helps somebody.
