[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#403703: quick look

[Alex Owen]

I still have my test setup from December where I ran test.sh (BTS Dec 21).


in test.sh when I run $HOME/cups/cupsys-1.2.7/filter/pstops I am
running pstops from 1.2.7-1 patched ONLY with str2111.patch

I have upgraded my system so that 1.2.7-2 is now installed.
 rerunning the tests I should expect the output files
patch-reverse.ps   reverse.ps  to be the same (as the pstops from
1.2.7-2 which generates reverse.ps claims to have str2111.patch
 applied).

However the files are _different_
The new debian version seems to forget to emmit the prolog. See this diff.
diff -u patch-reverse.ps   reverse.ps

Seems like there is bad interaction between the patches applied
between the 1.2.7-1 and 1.2.7-2 release...
