Description:
I've updated chromium recently, does not starts, complains about libcups missing.

Previous version was warking flawlessly with no-gconf, so I guess gconf should be an optdepend?

Additional info:
chromium-6.0.472.53-1

Steps to reproduce:
$ pacman -Rd libcups
$ chromium
$ pacman -S libcups
$ pacman -Rd no-gconf
$ chromium
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  gconf is a required dependency. Any dependency not covered by removing it with pacman -Rd is your own problem.

Woops, meant pacman -Rd gconf of course.

i'm sorry but gconf can't be optionally because is linking directly to chromium and libcups dependency come from gconf->gtk2->libcups

/usr/lib/chromium/chromium -- libgconf-2.so.4
