I don't know for sure. The problem was that acroread switched to use =20
libcups, and when trying to dlopen() it, it fails. I haven't =20
investigated this, so it may be a problem the way acroread installs =20
the lib, or because of missing dependencies in the linux_base (we will =20
get a new default linux_base "soon", we're running experimental builds =20
on the ports cluster currently), or because of something else.

Bye,
Alexander.
