Thanks for your prompt reply.
(1) The same error occurs for every printer chosen, even for PDF printer.
(2) Before update of Debian Buster yesterday every thing was ok.
(3) Firefox replies--Connection reset--- for localhost:631
(4) Tried removing and reinstalling cups in buster.
(5) Looks more like a Debian Buster problem as many other 
programs(icedove, file, man etc)

    are not working.
(6)as desired, output of lpstat -t is given below.

Bug#917996: texlive-pstricks: gs gives undefined in --execute-- when using color.tex with pstricks on plain tex.

[P V Mathew]

Package: texlive-pstricks
Version: 2018.20181214-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,


Inclusion of color.tex and calling \pscircle. plain tex compiled ok
with
  >tex test.tex 
and created test.dvi 
But running xdvi on generated test.dvi file results in gs error.
If we remove the \input color line, every thing works ok.

error in your report.

Please run your example with
(pdf)latex -recorder ...
(or any other program that supports -recorder) and send us the generated
file with the extension .fls, it lists all the files loaded during
the run and can easily explain problems induced by outdated files in
your home directory.

Don't forget to also include minimal examples of other files that are 
needed, e.g. bibtex databases. Often it also helps
to include the logfile. Please, never send included pictures!

If your example file isn't short or produces more than one page of
output (except when multiple pages are needed to show the problem),
you can probably minimize it further. Instructions on how to do that
can be found at

http://www.minimalbeispiel.de/mini-en.html (english)

Bug#883765: cups-client: Unsupported document-format "application/octet-stream".

[P V Mathew]

Sorry for the delay.
Unfortunately had to downgrade my desktop to Debian stretch. That is 
okay now.
The same errors occur on laptop(Debian Buster) also.  Hence, will send 
the details.

Tried lp -d PDF a.ps. The subject error is printed again.
The error_log remains empty.
The access_log remains empty.
The cups-pdf_log remains empty.
cupsd.conf is attached.
also output of dpkg --get-selections |grep cups is attached.

Regards
P V Mathew

This looks like a problem with the upgrade rather than something

Yes, from stretch.

well with the cupsfilters command - but now I am mystified.

cupsfilter does the same as CUPS except the final file is not sent
to a printer. 'lp -d  filename.ps' gives

  Unsupported document-format "application/octet-stream"
and this is an indication of CUPS being unable to MIME type the
submitted file. But it has MIME typed it with cupsfilter!

I can reproduce your observation of the error message by moving
mime.types out of /usr/share/cups/mime, but then cupsfilter fails
to run to completion. I cannot reproduce the empty error_log you
get; mine records the error. That's using my cupsd.conf.

I take a further look at the issue later today. Meanwhile you could
check that the files in /usr/share/cups/mime are what is in the
cups-core-drivers and cups-daemon packages.

Have checked files in /usr/share/cups/mime.
Other than cups-core-drivers and cups-daemon packages
there are some more files in the directory.
attaching listing of the directory.  Only issue is that some
.convs(cupsfilters-ghostscript, cupsfilters-mupdf, cupsfilters-poppler)
files do not have have the corresponding .types
files and command.types does not have any corresponding
command.convs.

Also the issue of connection getting reset on trying
http://localhost:631 stil remains. This will mean that
I will not be able to do any printer administration.

Nothing to worry about there; I have the same.

Has this been mentioned before? There are command line utilities to do
printer administration.

Yes. Briefly in one of my mails.

What do you get with

lp -d PDF -o document-format=text/plain /etc/nsswitch ?

Printing? Error message?

>lp -d PDF -o document-format=text/plain /etc/nsswitch.conf
lp: Unsupported document-format "text/plain".

No error logs. Logging seems to have stopped after  last update of Debian.
Not even access log.

man(from command line) but man2html ok

icedove - (double free error} ---bizarre? Using standalone download of

cups started on reboot but by the time logged in, it had stopped.

cups was restarted and command

the subject error returned.

but eventually cups stopped again.

dmesg showed some sort of infinite loop?

Oops. realize now, may be about 2-3 years ago when my var partition got 
full,


had moved the var/log on to /home/ and sym-linked to it in var. May be

this is not consistent with apparmor(not sure?).

any way,  pieces of dmesg|grep cups attached.  Not possible to attach full

file as similar lines keeps repeating.

Please let me know if any more input is required.

Hi,

Thanks Mathew for testing again, and Brian for adding me in the loop!
I'm Cc'ing the AppArmor team so the resolution of this problem does
not depend solely on myself :)

P V Mathew:

man(from command line) but man2html ok

Interesting, I don't have this problem. I notice that AppArmor
confinement was added in man-db (2.7.6.1-3), and then updated in
man-db (2.7.6.1-4). This is off-topic here so could you please report
a bug against man-db about this, including the corresponding AppArmor
denial logs? Feel free to X-Debbugs-Cc pkg-apparmor-team@.
In the meantime you can "sudo aa-disable /usr/bin/man".

Right, this can cause lots of problems with AppArmor, and not only for
cupsd so I'm not going to suggest solutions that would address your
problem for cupsd only but leave other bits of your system broken.

I recommend you either:

A. bind-mount /home/log on /var/log instead of using a symlink

Thanks.
Works.
After changing all symlinks in similar way all the
reported issues(cups, man,icedove) resolved.
Regards.


B. use an AppArmor alias

# echo '/var/log/ -> /home/log/' >> /etc/apparmor.d/tunables/alias
# systemctl restart apparmor

Works?

If this works, then I suggest the cups maintainers close this bug or
tag it wontfix: with a path-based LSM like AppArmor, there's no
general solution to problems caused by such uncommon customization
applied locally by sysadmins, other than education and documentation
about AppArmor so they're able to adjust their AppArmor
configuration accordingly.

Regards,

When I do that I can still print but the error_log is not written to
because cupsd cannot change the permissions on /var/log/cups (as shown
by systemctl status cups after restarting cups).

I reckon the location of /var/log and the permissions on it is the
cause of your getting an empty error_log and has nothing to do with
the subject of your report. It would occur whether or not apparmor
is installed. You can check this.

Sorry once again. Even /usr/share was as symlink.

This symlinking business happened over a period of
15 years. Each time one partition gets full I had the habit
of symlinking it to some place where space is available
rather than resizing partitions etc. When I change my
hardware, I always clone the existing system. So the
symlinks continued...

After following integri solution of mount bind for every
symlink, all is right and working fine.

apparmor is new to buster and I am new to apparmor; but this looks like
cupsd has been refused write permission.

intrigeri is our lifeline for things apparmor, so I have cc'ed him (her?)
for advice.

I missed this in bb.bz2:

  [ 2153.319653] cupsd[5896]: segfault at c ip 7f36a1f13f46 sp

You did say cupsd crashed?

Yes. Even this issue seems to have resolved.

I am out of my depth with this sort of thing but came across

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1706052

Please read and carry out the instructions in message #38 there. You
don't need sudo. How do you go on?

Did not have to do this.
I Do not use sudo(some how not my preference.), use ssh instead.

Cheers,

Brian.


Thanks for all the help.

May I remove apparmor now. Have no need for it. All this arose

because Debian had introduced it as default.   But I am happy to

have a learned a few things in between.

Regards and thanks once again for all your help.

Bug#933871: texlive-pictures: etex and pdftex would not compile if tikz.tex is input - undefined control sequence

[P V Mathew]

Package: texlive-pictures
Version: 2019.20190710-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,


   * What led up to the situation?
Compiling the minimal tex file given below in the minimal input file
section with etex results in "
! Undefined control sequence.
\pgf@setup@shading@model ...delgrayfalse \XC@sdef 
  \pgf@mod@test
{\XC@tgt@mod..."
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?
   * What was the outcome of this action?
The file does not compile.
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
Clean compilation.



-- Package-specific info:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: We will only consider bug reports concerning
the packaging of TeX Live as relevant. If you have problems with
combination of packages in a LaTeX document, please consult your
local TeX User Group, the comp.text.tex user group, the author of
the original .sty file, or any other help resource. 

In particular, bugs that are related to up-upstream, i.e., neither
Debian nor TeX Live (upstream), but the original package authors,
will be closed immediately.

   *** The Debian TeX Team is *not* a LaTeX Help Desk ***

If you report an error when running one of the TeX-related binaries 
(latex, pdftex, metafont,...), or if the bug is related to bad or wrong
output, please include a MINIMAL example input file that produces the
error in your report.

Please run your example with
(pdf)latex -recorder ...
(or any other program that supports -recorder) and send us the generated
file with the extension .fls, it lists all the files loaded during
the run and can easily explain problems induced by outdated files in
your home directory.

Don't forget to also include minimal examples of other files that are 
needed, e.g. bibtex databases. Often it also helps
to include the logfile. Please, never send included pictures!

If your example file isn't short or produces more than one page of
output (except when multiple pages are needed to show the problem),
you can probably minimize it further. Instructions on how to do that
can be found at

http://www.minimalbeispiel.de/mini-en.html (english)
