Do you mean that I should integrate my version of the files into the
ghostscript package?
This is what I want to avoid because all cups-filters should reside in the
cups-filters package.


I've also tried the following in my ghostscript bbappend, but it does not
work. Shouldn't [1] work this way?

FILES_${PN}-cups_remove = "${exec_prefix}/lib/cups/filter/gstopxl"
FILES_${PN}-cups_remove = "${exec_prefix}/lib/cups/filter/gstoraster"

thanks & regards,
richard
