The information that sometimes even up to 1GB RIPCache is actually needed was new to me and helped us a lot! Regarding your attachment #396070: On my openSUSE 11.3 x86_64 system with Ghostscript 8.70 I can anticipate what causes your attachment #396070 (only "rpm -e --test" shows all requirements and their actual reason): ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- # rpm -e --test ghostscript-library-8.70 .. libgs.so.8()(64bit) is needed by ... libspectre1-0.2.4-3.1.x86_64 libgs.so.8()(64bit) is needed by ... foomatic-filters-4.0.1-6.1.x86_64 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This means that libspectre1 (i.e. /usr/lib64/libspectre.so.1.1.4) and foomatic-filters (i.e. /usr/bin/foomatic-rip) are linked with libgs.so.8 but libgs.so.8 is not provided by Ghostscript 9.00 so that neither /usr/bin/foomatic-rip nor /usr/lib64/libspectre.so.1.1.4 would still work if ghostscript-library-8.70 was replaced by ghostscript-library-9.00 As a consequence the installer would suggest to remove libspectre1 and foomatic-filters. But then the subsequent consequences would be: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- # rpm -e --test libspectre1-0.2.4 .. libspectre.so.1()(64bit) is needed by ... okular-4.4.4-1.4.x86_64 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- and ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- # rpm -e --test foomatic-filters-4.0.1 .. foomatic-filters is needed by ... cups-drivers-1.3.9-35.1.x86_64 foomatic-filters is needed by ... cups-1.4.4-4.1.x86_64 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- As a final result the installer would suggest to remove libspectre1, foomatic-filters, okular, cups-drivers, and cups. This means that at least currently you cannot simply install ghostscript-library-9.00 from its openSUSE development project "Printing:ghostscript" into your usual openSUSE 11.3 system and still have a normal usable openSUSE 11.3 system - except you actually want to do development and you know what you do. It is no bug when there are issues with packages from openSUSE development projects, in particular have a look at https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=Printing ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The "Printing" project may contain new, upcoming software. Therefore the packages in the "Printing" project might neither be in a stable state nor fit well into currently installed systems. Have this in mind if you think about to install packages from the "Printing" project into your currently running system. .. The packages in the "Printing" project are only for testing, without any guarantee or warranty, and without any support. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- In the end: Normal openSUSE 11.3 users should do what is described on http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Printing how to work around "Current Issues". By the way: This bug is about the "CUPS default RIPCache". If there are issues with Ghostscript, I suggest to file a new separated bug report so that we could better keep separated issues actually separated. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
