There is no mention of GtkPrint in the sources, so I guess Gnome2::Print is not ready to use that. It appears GtkPrint is available via Gtk2 module (libgtk2-perl). > As for bindings, they don???t have any reverse dependencies except > for the Python ones, so they should simply be removed ASAP. Shall we remove libgnome2-print-perl from the archive? The popcon rating doesn't seem particularly high: http://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=libgnome2-print-perl -- dam
