Oh no, I have a Windows box within a foot and a half of my Slack 12 box.
And I have a Win 2K SP4 in Qemu on this Slack 12 box (no Win partition on
this Slack 12 box but there is the Qemu Win 2K image file)  (Slack now gets
a filtered breather in the case of any airborne things)

Technically, once a binary is linked on a "working system", the fact that

They must be required in this case because (as shared next) the pkg now
builds just fine without any problem.

so, to answer your original question, it's something specific to your box.


Yep.

It *was* the two missing symlinks that you reported.  (I uninstalled then
installed cups again).  And, now:

sh-3.1# ls -la /usr/lib/libcups*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     12 2007-09-28 22:13 /usr/lib/libcups.so ->
libcups.so.2
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 161028 2007-05-09 14:28 /usr/lib/libcups.so.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     17 2007-09-28 22:13 /usr/lib/libcupsimage.so ->
libcupsimage.so.2
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  72048 2007-05-09 14:28 /usr/lib/libcupsimage.so.2

Now the pkg builds just fine.  Hmm, maybe others are miss the two symlinks
too (AFAIK I did nothing to cause them to be gone/missing).

My pkg size

111,804 b

113,575 b

Robby Workman's pkg size (libgnomecups)

I wonder why the sizes are slightly different between those two
libgnomecups?
