Package: libpostscript-simple-perl
Version: 0.06p3-1
This is 0.06 _prerelease 3_, not the final stable 0.06. It contains a
bug that was not in 0.06p1. 0.06p1 had this output:
<< /PageSize [$self->{xsize} $self->{ysize}] /ImagingBBox null >>
setpagedevice\n
A bug was introduced in 0.06p3 which removed that functionality
altogether. This breaks output in such a way that prevent the
page size from getting set properly. Pages are then rendered at
8.5x11 inches, even when the page size differs from that, in distillers
such as pstill. Other distillers are likely similarly affected, but I
am not 100% sure of that.
CPAN version 0.07 re-added this feature, in a more compatible way,
applying it only when the PostScript level is 2 or greater:
ll 2 ge { << /PageSize [ 792 1224 ] /ImagingBBox null >> setpagedevice }
if\n
dh-make-perl builds the 0.07 version cleanly out of CPAN, and the
resultant package upgrades cleanly from 0.06p3-1. The package should be
updated in the repositories to use the more recent 0.07 version to
resolve this bug.
