Thanks for all advices so far.

I would like to give this patch a try but I am worrying about possibly
confusing pkg(ng) in case of having to downgrade again.

If I got you right, Boris, your patch should upgrade print/cups-filters
to version 1.0.50. If I have the need to downgrade again, I will use
the original Makefile. Can I build and install the original version
1.0.42 again without confusing pkg(ng)?

I ask because I am rather new to FreeBSD and right after having learned
old pkg administration I am still in the process of understanding
pkg(ng). I have learned from the forum and from own bad experiences that
the package database can easily be mangled leaving you with a lot of
work to get things running again.

I should mention that my latest attempt of increasing the log level to
"debug" did not reveal any additional helpful information - if I
remember correctly :-)
