Package: foomatic-filters-ppds Version: 20050430-1 foomatic-filters-ppds depends on foomatic-db-engine, which in turn depends on foomatic-db. Thus installing the pre-built ppds also pulls in the raw data, which seems unnecessary.
I don't know exactly what does what in the foomatic package system, but I've tested printing with only foomatic-filters and foomatic-filters-ppds installed, and things seem to work (I add printers using CUPS, so I never use the foomatic command-line tools). Perhaps foomatic-filters-ppds should depend on foomatic-filters, and only suggest/recommend foomatic-db-engine, if (and you know best about this of course) it isn't really needed. If foomatic-db-engine really is needed for a basic foomatic install, perhaps make foomatic-db-engine suggest rather than depend upon foomatic-db. That way, the database isn't required for those who are happy with foomatic-filters-ppds. Thanks, Christopher Martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
