cups has been added in yocto, and another file in the same directory is 
named gs-tools-native_8.64.bb

After I remove the DEPENDS and RDEPNDS lines, run "bitbake gs", it still 
failed with:

ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES 'gs'


Then I renamed the gs_8.64.bb to gs2_8.64.bb and run "bitbake gs2", 
bitbake will find gs2 this time. Would you give some advices?
