14 The downgrade to the lower level of foomatic-db gives problems with the
15 /etc/make.conf FEATURE=sandbox.
16
17 However, this problem can be circumvented by (temporarily) replacing
18 FEATURE="sandbox", with FEATURE="-sandbox -usersandbox" in
19 /etc/make.conf. Do this at your own risk!
20
21 However, the real solution to the problem is to re-emerge
22 foomatic-filters, as suggested by Frédéric in a later post.
23
24 The cause of the problem is (as he said) documented in bug 131533:

27
28 Either solution, downgrading foomatic-db or re-emerging foomatic-filters
29 works fine.

31 Thanks to all for their help.
