| The story behind this is that I deinstalled  the cups-base package, then
| found that I couldn't reinstall; so did pkg_add -r and got
| cups-base-1.3.5_2; which is fine except that it won't work with the

First read http://www.vuxml.org/freebsd/ce29ce1d-971a-11dd-ab7e-001c2514716c.html
and the references cited therein and decide if installing this package is still
a good idea despite the security problems.

Then, if you do decide to go ahead:

~   # portupgrade -m "DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES=yes" cups-base

Otherwise, wait until a fix comes out for the package.  For something
like this, a fix will usually be available within a week or so.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
