Description of problem: I yum updated two systems to rawhide weeks ago (I know, this is not supported, but I doubt its different when updating with anaconda). I noticed that gutenprint-foomatic was not installed on both of them. gutenprint itself was, as it obsoletes gimp-print. But gutenprint is not much worth without gutenprint-foomatic, as you can't configure gutenprint drivers without gutenprint-foomatic afaics . Maybe a better placed obsoletes (maybe just move the current one itto the gutenprint-foomatic package, as that will track in the main gutenprint package automatically afterwards) or an additional one (not sure) might get gutenprint-foomatic tracked in automatically, too. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gutenprint-5.0.0.99.1-2.fc7 Would be nice to see this fixed before releasing F7, as the current behavior otherwise might confuse users a lot.
Yes, it should be moved to gutenprint-foomatic. Good catch!
Build blocked by GCC bug #239003.
(In reply to comment #1) > Good catch! Well, after filing this bug I wasn't sure anymore if gutenprint-foomatic actually is needed to use gutenprint, but according to your reaction it seems so. While investigating I noticed two other things in in comp.xml (see http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/comps/comps-f7.xml.in?root=extras&view=marku ): - gutenprint is listed in the group "graphics" ("This group includes packages to help you manipulate and scan images."). Sounds wrong to me -- "Printing" might be the better place afaics. - I can't see gutenprint-foomatic in comps.xml at all. Shouldn't that be added to the printing group, too? Likely marked as 'type="default"', so it gets installed when people choose the printing group?
Well, gutenprint-foomatic isn't *needed* for printing: you can install gutenprint-cups instead and use the native CUPS drivers. But we used to ship the equivalent of guteprint-foomatic in with the foomatic package back when gimp-print was used. I've filed bug #239033 to track those comps issues.
