Package: a2ps
Version: 1:4.13b-4.3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

I found a2ps to be missing dependency on psutils (currently it is only
a `recommends').

$ LANG=C a2ps -2 /tmp/developers-reference.fr.ps 
sh: line 1: psnup: command not found
[/tmp/developers-reference.fr.ps (ps, delegated to PsNup): failed.  Ignored]
[No output produced]

# apt-get install psutils

solves it:

$ LANG=C a2ps -2 /tmp/developers-reference.fr.ps 
[/tmp/developers-reference.fr.ps (ps, delegated to PsNup): 121 pages on 61 
sheets]
request id is HL-1430-551 (1 file(s))
[Total: 122 pages on 61 sheets] sent to the default printer

$ apt-cache show a2ps   
Package: a2ps
Priority: optional
Section: text
Installed-Size: 3096
Maintainer: Masayuki Hatta (mhatta) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Architecture: i386
Version: 1:4.13b-4.3
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4), libpaper1
Pre-Depends: emacsen-common
Recommends: bzip2, lpr | cupsys-client, psutils, wdiff

By the way it may not be the only problem as the previous command only
printed blank pages (but they are properly seen on screen by gv).  I
have not yet tracked down the roots of this second problem.

Best regards,
