Description:

The PKGBUILD for cups-filters sets the test font to /usr/share/fonts/TTF/DejaVuSans.ttf, but a build dependancy on ttf-dejavu is missing. Actually, there is a comment about this in the PKGBUILD, so there might be a reason it is missing?

As a remark, not that adding the build dependancy might not work at all. I have ttf-dejavu-ib installed, which provides ttf-dejavu, but does not provide the mentioned file. As an alternative, maybe add a build dependancy on fontconfig and use the output of
fc-match --format='%{file}' sans
as test font?

makedepends=('ghostscript' 'ttf-dejavu' 'python2') # ttf-dejavu for make check


??? 'ttf-dejavu' is included in the array.

I guess ttf-dejavu-ib shouldn't provide ttf-dejavu if it doesn't provide all its functionality. Not a bug. And we only support building our repo package in clean chroot with repo packages.
