    Minmax and minsum variants of the planar Euclidean collection depots location problem are studied. The authors show as to how Voronoi diagrams can be used to enumerate candidate solutions to these problems and how their use yields an improved algorithm for solving a type of MinSum problem with line barriers and its generalization [cf. \textit{K. Klamroth}, Optimization 49, No.~5--6, 517--527 (2001; Zbl 0995.90065)]. A solution to an open problem posed by \textit{Z. Drezner} [Eur. J. Oper. Res. 130, No.~3, 510--518 (2001; Zbl 0981.90040)] is also given.
