Hi,
I am trying to setup CUPS on a machine and have got into package
dependency hell. I want a cups flavoured ghostscript but it wont
install as it cannot resolve dependencies on foomatic-filters and cups.
If I install either of them then they install a non-CUPS flavoured
version of ghostscript. This is with 4.4 release.
# pkg_add -n -v ghostscript-8.62p2-a4-cups

So what is the way to break this cycle of dependenciesso I can get a
CUPS flavored ghostscript installed? TIA
