I am wondering what changes have taken place to change this from a functioning 
port to one that justifies it being labelled as broken. It must have compiled 
OK for me as I already have cups-pdf-2.5.0 installed which appears to be the 
same version. I heard some rumour that it was failing on ubuntu but not on 
freebsd. Is there any truth in that? 

Is there any provision to ensure that something which should be marked as 
broken for ubuntu is not, in consequence,automatically marked as broken when 
on freebsd?
