Newbie question: Is this something I should send to buglist?

2006-07-30 Thread Oliver Iberien
After running portsnap this morning:

bsd# pkg_version -v  /home/oliver/version.txt
Makefile, line 54: Could not 
find /usr/ports/print/cups-lpr/../../print/cups/Makefile.common
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
pkg_version: Failed to get PKGNAME from /usr/ports/print/cups-lpr/Makefile!

I take it that this means that there is something missing from this part of 
this port? I looked at 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-broken.html
and tried querying the data base (and was confused by the options), and 
searched the mailing list for the string cups-lpr. Nothing -- I think.

Anyhow, I'm happy to do my bit and post this somewhere but don't want to start 
sending badly formatted or unnecessary bug reports around. Any advice?

This message is normal. cups-lpr is a port that no longer exists since the 
update to 1.2.0 as it has been merged with cups-base. When you update to 
cups-base 1.2.0_2, you won't get that message. 

Whether I recommend you update to 1.2.0 is another thing though :)
