Package: a2ps Version: 1:4.13b-5 Severity: important The -5 package can no longer print to the default printer:
[ 9:20 pm][pts/10][/home/mwilson] rei $ PRINTER="" lp There\ Will\ Come\ Soft\ Rains\ -\ Sara\ Teasdale.txt lp: error - PRINTER environment variable names non-existent destination ""! [ 9:20 pm][pts/10][/home/mwilson] rei $ a2ps There\ Will\ Come\ Soft\ Rains\ -\ Sara\ Teasdale.txt [There Will Come Soft Rains - Sara Teasdale.txt (plain): 1 page on 1 sheet] lp: error - PRINTER environment variable names non-existent destination ""! [Total: 1 page on 1 sheet] sent to the default printer [ 9:21 pm][pts/10][/home/mwilson] rei $ echo $PRINTER laser [ 9:23 pm][pts/10][/home/mwilson] rei $ a2ps -P laser There\ Will\ Come\ Soft\ Rains\ -\ Sara\ Teasdale.txt [There Will Come Soft Rains - Sara Teasdale.txt (plain): 1 page on 1 sheet] request id is laser-633 (1 file(s)) [Total: 1 page on 1 sheet] sent to the printer `laser' Yet obviously that printer is valid and works. Since this produces the same error: [ 9:23 pm][pts/10][/home/mwilson] rei $ PRINTER="" lp There\ Will\ Come\ Soft\ Rains\ -\ Sara\ Teasdale.txt lp: error - PRINTER environment variable names non-existent destination ""! ... it is obvious that the a2ps-lpr-wrapper steps on $PRINTER. Bad. Naughty. Should be fixed. $PRINTER belongs to the user, not some helper script. The -4.3 package, of course, works fine because it doesn't mangle the environment. <sigh> -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12.2 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages a2ps depends on: ii libc6 2.3.5-3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libpaper1 1.1.14-3 Library for handling paper charact Versions of packages a2ps recommends: ii bzip2 1.0.2-8 high-quality block-sorting file co ii cupsys-bsd [lpr] 1.1.23-11 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii cupsys-client 1.1.23-11 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii psutils 1.17-17 A collection of PostScript documen pn wdiff <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
