Package: libgtk2.0-0 Version: 2.24.31-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
At the moment printing via gtk2 to password-protected printers requires the password to be entered each time. In gtk3 the password is stored so printing is automatic when the password has been provided once (i.e. the bug has been fixed in gtk3). This makes printing from gtk2 clients such as firefox much less convenient than it should be. A patch was prepared for ubuntu, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+3.0/+bug/445333 The password authenticiation bug is discussed (and fixed) upstream for gtk3 at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=674264 and an upstream patch for gtk2 is provided at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736868 Could you please apply this patch to gtk+2.0? Thanks, Drew p.s. note that ubuntu's debian/patches/printing-initialize-auth_info.patch has already been applied upstream, see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=737777 -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.7.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages libgtk2.0-0 depends on: ii adwaita-icon-theme 3.22.0-1 ii hicolor-icon-theme 0.15-1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.22.0-1 ii libc6 2.24-4 ii libcairo2 1.14.6-1+b1 ii libcups2 2.2.1-1 ii libfontconfig1 2.11.0-6.7 ii libfreetype6 2.6.3-3+b1 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.36.0-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.50.1-1 ii libgtk2.0-common 2.24.31-1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.40.3-2 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.40.3-2 ii libpangoft2-1.0-0 1.40.3-2 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.3-1 ii libxcomposite1 1:0.4.4-1 ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.14-1+b1 ii libxdamage1 1:1.1.4-2+b1 ii libxext6 2:1.3.3-1 ii libxfixes3 1:5.0.2-1 ii libxi6 2:1.7.6-1 ii libxinerama1 2:1.1.3-1+b1 ii libxrandr2 2:1.5.0-1 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.9-2 ii shared-mime-info 1.7-1 Versions of packages libgtk2.0-0 recommends: ii libgail-common 2.24.31-1 ii libgtk2.0-bin 2.24.31-1 Versions of packages libgtk2.0-0 suggests: ii gvfs 1.30.1-1 ii librsvg2-common 2.40.16-1 -- no debconf information
