Apparently there is a bug in this port that would allow an attacker from outside to make cupsd execute his malicious code. Therefore installation of this port is forbidden as a precaution until a fix is available. But if you have a firewall that rejects incomming connections or if you have cupsd set up to deny all connections but local ones this bug presumably cannot affect you. > Not sure also how one could go ahead? There is no option to continue. The= =20 > message appears and that's all. I am not given any option. Upgrade the port once it is fixed. In the meantime block incoming connections either in cupsd.conf or with your firewall.
