Does that mean that libreoffice will be broken the next time I update? Please tell me I've misunderstood what you've just said. Just to make things clear, I utterly detest cups, with its arrogance, its wierd, non-standard, and its non-text-based configuration. Surely I'm not going to be faced by the choice of abandoning libreoffice or using cups? > I would have preferred if the ebuild got a -r2 so I could simply mask > it, as compiling it again would not change a thing when the cups USE > flag was enabled already. > Wonko -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
