The recipes at hand are: binutils: I don't feel like touching that one. cups: there is someone bitching about that this is 1.2, but he apparently prefers bitching upon resolving the issue. Probably the best solution is to drop the DP = -1 from the 1.4.4 recipe libsdl-x11: not really sure what it does or who maintains it (actually somewhat surprised that it is used in console-image) python-sqlite3: also not really sure who maintains it. And yes, I could try to fix these myself. I used to work on everything and tried to fix things that were left dangling, but some people in the community are so unforgiving and negative if you make a mistake (which can happen if you work on something new to you), so I basically gave up doing that. (and yes, I know if it is something you're not familiar with a patch can be posted to the list, but unfortunately lots of times patches (especially for areas that are less mainstream) the response on posted patches is nil). I am just reporting this as result of the weekly testing effort and I have no direct interest in these recipes. Have a nice weekend!
