Package: psutils Version: 1.17-21 Tags: patch psnup can't cope with files from at least some versions of the Gnome printing system. (In particular, for example, PostScript files from gedit 2.14.1-0ubuntu1.) On investigating, I found that the PostScript files were correct. The problem is that they do `/showpage load' which bypasses psnup's per-virtual-page rebinding of the word `showpage'.
The attached patch changes the way psnup does things: now, showpage is redefined once in the prologue to a procedure which checks at runtime whether to actually invoke showpage. (This bug was first reported by an Ubuntu user, at https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/28311 and I have just uploaded a version with this patch to Ubuntu dapper.)
