Please unblock package a2ps with 1:4.14-8. The a2ps/1:4.14-8 upload specifically fixes Debian bug https://bugs.debian.org/1008579 . [ Reason ] The a2ps/1:4.14-8 upload specifically fixes Debian bug https://bugs.debian.org/1008579 . The fix cherry-picks an upstream patch to fix the invocation of ghostscript in /usr/bin/fixps. [ Impact ] Users who call /usr/bin/fixps will fail due to error raised by ghostscript. [ Tests ] Manual tests with the related tool. [ Risks ] Minimal risk; patch tested by upstream as well. Even if the fix is flawed, the condition will not be worse because the tool is already broken. [ Checklist ] [X] all changes are documented in the d/changelog [X] I reviewed all changes and I approve them [X] attach debdiff against the package in testing Thanks, Boyuan Yang unblock a2ps/1:4.14-8
