First of all, after removing the pins, I performed the following upgrades: [INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] cups-filters [INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] libcupsfilters1 [UPGRADE] cups 1.5.0-13 -> 1.5.2-5 [UPGRADE] cups-bsd 1.5.0-13 -> 1.5.2-5 [UPGRADE] cups-client 1.5.0-13 -> 1.5.2-5 [UPGRADE] cups-common 1.5.0-13 -> 1.5.2-5 [UPGRADE] cups-ppdc 1.5.0-13 -> 1.5.2-5 [UPGRADE] libcups2 1.5.0-13 -> 1.5.2-5 [UPGRADE] libcupscgi1 1.5.0-13 -> 1.5.2-5 [UPGRADE] libcupsdriver1 1.5.0-13 -> 1.5.2-5 [UPGRADE] libcupsimage2 1.5.0-13 -> 1.5.2-5 [UPGRADE] libcupsmime1 1.5.0-13 -> 1.5.2-5 [UPGRADE] libcupsppdc1 1.5.0-13 -> 1.5.2-5 This took me up-to-date with respect with current testing (with cups-filters/1.0.2-1). With this setup, I was still able to reproduce the bug. After that, I tried upgrading cups-filters to the version currently in unstable: [UPGRADE] cups-filters 1.0.2-1 -> 1.0.7-1 This completely changed the outcome of the tests. I was able to print simple text files, as in: $ echo test | lpr but no PDF file could be printed at all: $ lpr file.pdf produced a blank page, followed by a page with the error message: ERROR: invalidaccess OFFENDING COMMAND: filter STACK: /SubFileDecode endstream 0 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 15 false or similar (with "17" instead of "15", for instance). I don't know if this new issue is related to the bug I originally reported (maybe the new issue is #661866 ?!?). Anyway, I am still unable to use up-to-date cups... I downgraded back to cups/1.5.0-13 and friends, as described in my original bug report. Now I am again able to print text files and PDF files. Please fix the new cups(-filters) packages!
