Package: gv
Version: 1:3.6.1-14
Severity: normal
This bug may be related to 299447 and/or 373607, but it's not clear,
and this test case is much simpler. It's also possible this is an
a2ps bug, but given that the DSC parser in gv seems so fragile, I'm
blaming gv.
I have not tested against a "vanilla" gv build.
First, make some simple input files:
$ echo compressed | gzip > c.txt.gz
$ echo uncompressed > u.txt
$ echo compressed2 | gzip > c2.txt.gz
$ echo uncompressed2 > u2.txt
Then, run a2ps a few times:
$ a2ps -o uu2.ps u.txt u2.txt
$ a2ps -o cc2.ps c.txt.gz c2.txt.gz
$ a2ps -o uc.ps u.txt c.txt.gz
Now, run gv on each of these files. uu2.ps is a control. It should
work just fine, showing you pages numbered 1 and 2 in the page list in
the lower left side.
"gv uc.ps" shows only the first page. I don't see any way to show the
second page at all. But it is there: if you print the file, or use
use "gv -nodsc uc.ps", or use ps2pdf to convert it to pdf and view it
with your favorite pdf viewer, you see both pages.
"gv cc2.ps" shows both pages, but acts as if the DSC comments are not
present at all. PageUp doesn't do anything, and PageDown cycles
between the first page, the second page, and a blank page.
