gl2ps.h missing in Octave 3.8.0 pacman install

The following produces the following error when I try to save a plot in octave:

...
octave:9> saveas(h, "my_plot.png")
error: fltk: printing not available without gl2ps library

when I search for it, I get nothing:

find /usr/include/ -name 'gl2ps.h'

and it is not on the file list for the current version (3.8.0):

pkgfile 'gl2ps.h'

however, before I updated pkgfile's references, the previous command did yield 'extra/octave'

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friends.
