I have chased down the issue with printing with cups and linux apps,
particularly acroread. Some of you may know how to do this already,
but I've been debugging it myself for the past few hours- and
googling my brains out.

The port maintainer for linux-f10-libcups is this list, so here I am.
The port requires dependencies on linux-f10-libgpg-error and
linux-f10-gnutls (also maintained by the list). How do we adjust this?
I had a look with "objdump -x ..../libcups* | grep NEEDED" and I only
see the dependency to gnutls. I committed this.

For the libgpg-error dependency I suggest you search in the the
involved binaries and libs with in a similar way than above for the
source of the dependency to libgpg-error.
I based this on what worked for me, but I checked anyway. I will clarify that the dependency is between libgnutls on libgpg-error- it was clear in my mind anyway. I have a brain to mouth disfunction... or fingers :)

objdump -x ...libgnutls.so.26: NEEDED      libgpg-error.so.0
For that matter, the acroread port needs to depend on the libcups
too. I'll have to contact the maintainer on that one.

My interest in this is that the acroreader is needed in the graphics
industry (almost a rule in Oz), and this would go a long way to
helping out acceptance in that niche.

And before you mention it Alex: I can take over the maintainership of
both (if required), but I want to ensure my first works out ok
beforehand.
For critical dependencies (ports which are depended upon by several
ports) it is better when a group of people maintain them (more people
are always welcome ;-) ).
Cool. One less task on my list of things to do. I will help out though.
