I have decided to switch from old lpr style printing to CUPS (on FreeBSD
4.9-STABLE) and found a helpful looking port,
/usr/ports/print/gnome-cups-manager. The build works, but "make install"
triggers a dependency that fails:

# make install

===>   gnome-cups-manager-0.28,1 depends on executable: gnomesu - not found

This began yesterday. I cvsuped my ports tree, same thing. I did make
fetchindex, same thing. I ran portsdb -Uu and got lots of errors so I rm
-r'd /usr/ports and set cvsup to work overnight downloading a fresh, empty
tree. Still doesn't build, and portsdb is still very unhappy. Do I need to
do a make index as well?

Oh, is this a Gnome 1 app, and I have 2.8? But it should still build, even
if it worn't run.

Also curious that the OS version is 4.9 when I recently upgraded from cvsup
STABLE. That should be higher than 4.9, right? Is that the problem?
