The downgrade to the lower level of foomatic-db gives problems with the
/etc/make.conf FEATURE=sandbox.

However, this problem can be circumvented by (temporarily) replacing
FEATURE="sandbox", with FEATURE="-sandbox -usersandbox" in
/etc/make.conf.   Do this at your own risk!

However, the real solution to the problem is to re-emerge
foomatic-filters, as suggested by Frédéric in a later post.

The cause of the problem is (as he said) documented in bug 131533:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131533

Either solution, downgrading foomatic-db or re-emerging foomatic-filters
works fine.

Thanks to all for their help.

Cheers, Dave
