Package: xprint Version: 2:1.4.2-11 Severity: normal
Hi, I've just installed xprint 2:1.4.2-11 and it fails to start: # /etc/init.d/xprint start /etc/init.d/xprint: Old server registry found, cleaning-up... Stopping Xprint servers: Xprt. Starting Xprint servers: Xprt. No error message there, or in any log file that I can find, but there is no Xprt process running. I try this: # /usr/bin/Xprt :64 _XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for inet6 _XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inet6/haiti:64 _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for inet6 No matching visual for __GLcontextMode with visual class = 0 (32775), nplanes = 8 expected keysym, got XF86KbdLightOnOff: line 70 of pc expected keysym, got XF86KbdBrightnessDown: line 71 of pc expected keysym, got XF86KbdBrightnessUp: line 72 of pc /usr/bin/Xprt: symbol lookup error: /usr/bin/Xprt: undefined symbol: PrinterFontRegisterFpeFunctions I believe the last error is the important one. As an aside, it would be really great if the init.d script could not hide this error in /dev/null, please; that wasted an hour. Running nm -D on another machine suggests that perhaps the missing PrinterFontRegisterFpeFunctions should be defined in /usr/lib/libXfont.so.1: # nm -D /usr/lib/libXfont.so.1 | grep PrinterFontRegisterFpeFunctions 0000d880 T PrinterFontRegisterFpeFunctions That machine has libxfont1 version 1:1.3.3-1. This machine where it doesn't work has libxfont1 version 1:1.4.0-1, which seems to be the newest version, and the symbol is not defined: # nm -D /usr/lib/libXfont.so.1 | grep PrinterFontRegisterFpeFunctions # So my guess is that the current libxfont1 is too new for the current xprint and/or the current xprint is too old for the current libxfont1. Any thoughts?
