Package: foomatic-filters Version: 3.0.2-20061031-1.2 Severity: normal
With the recent Ghostscript changes (now gs-esp is a transitional package), /usr/bin/gs-esp is gone. However, the debconf setting isn't updated to remove that option, leaving /etc/foomatic/filter.conf with the "gspath: gs-esp" setting intact. This leads to confusing entries in the CUPS log such as: D [17/Oct/2007:11:24:31 -0400] [Job 24] foomatic-gswrapper: gs-esp '-dBATCH' '-dPARANOIDSAFER' '-dQUIET' '-dNOPAUSE' '-sDEVICE=ijs' '-sIjsServer=hpijs' '-sDeviceManufacturer=HEWLETT-PACKARD' '-sDeviceModel=hp LaserJet 1012' '-dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=612' '-dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=792' '-dDuplex=false' '-r600' '-sIjsParams=Quality:Quality=0,Quality:ColorMode=0,Quality:MediaType=0,Quality:PenSet=0,PS:MediaPosition=7' '-dIjsUseOutputFD' '-sOutputFile=/dev/fd/3' '/dev/fd/0' 3>&1 1>&2 D [17/Oct/2007:11:24:31 -0400] [Job 24] sh: gs-esp: command not found The bug is that printing breaks when /usr/bin/foomatic-gswrapper sets its $gspath to gs-esp, which doesn't exist. This means that after the ghostscript upgrade, anybody using gs-esp will find printing mysteriously broken. My suggested fix is that gs-esp should be removed as a filter choice in the debconf information. I apologize if anything is unclear, I don't file many bugs on Debian things. (And am now reconfiguring my system to use gs not gs-esp.) -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_GB.UTF8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages foomatic-filters depends on: ii bash 3.1dfsg-8 The GNU Bourne Again SHell ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.14 Debian configuration management sy ii perl 5.8.8-11 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii ucf 3.003 Update Configuration File: preserv Versions of packages foomatic-filters recommends: ii a2ps 1:4.13c~rc5-1 GNU a2ps - 'Anything to PostScript ii cupsys 1.3.2-1 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii cupsys-client 1.3.2-1 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii enscript 1.6.4-11 Converts ASCII text to Postscript, ii foomatic-db-engine 3.0.2-20061031-1 linuxprinting.org printer support ii ghostscript [gs-es 8.61.dfsg.1~svn8187-1 The GPL Ghostscript PostScript/PDF ii gs-esp 8.61.dfsg.1~svn8187-1 Transitional package -- debconf information: * foomatic-filters/spooler: cups * foomatic-filters/gspath: gs-esp * foomatic-filters/ps_accounting: false foomatic-filters/config_parsed: true foomatic-filters/textfilter: Automagic * foomatic-filters/filter_debug: false foomatic-filters/custom_textfilter: foomatic-filters/custom_gspath: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
