Package: cups-pdf
Version: 1.7.3-6
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
I just upgraded tonight my Sid system, and found that print jobs
sent through cups-pdf (printpdf) failed to create a file in my
home directory. I tried a direct job...
lpr -P printpdf funny.txt # simple text file
and it gave no pdf file in return. My primary use of this is with
an old DOS program from which I have been capturing printer output
under dosemu, which will be emailed to other people. It stopped working
as well. I am certain of the dosemu setup, as it was working this morning,
and it still works with other designated printers.
A test page was sent to the printer using the cups web interface, and a
resulting pdf file was apparently created in /var/spool/cups-pdf/
There is no indication of errors in any log file that I can find.
