Package: a2ps
Version: 1:4.13b-4
Severity: important
The wrapper script has a rather serious bug. When "a2ps" is invoked with
"-P" option, the script is invoked with "-d" and the argument of "-P". But
the script only transfer the first shell argument - in this case "-d" - to
the "lp" command, which then fails.
I have observed this on a system with "lprng" installed; I am pretty sure that
"cupsys-client" based system will have the same problem.
This patch fixes the problem.

***************
*** 5,11 ****
# If /usr/bin/lp (from cupsys-client) exists, just use it.
if [ -x /usr/bin/lp ]; then
! /usr/bin/lp $1
else
# In case /usr/bin/lp is not available, then fall back /usr/bin/lpr.
/usr/bin/lpr $1
--- 5,11 ----
# If /usr/bin/lp (from cupsys-client) exists, just use it.
if [ -x /usr/bin/lp ]; then
! /usr/bin/lp $*
else
# In case /usr/bin/lp is not available, then fall back /usr/bin/lpr.
/usr/bin/lpr $1
Two incidental comments:
The presence of /usr/bin/lp is not an indicator for "cupsys-client"; that
file is also provided by the "lprng" package.
In a system with no /usr/bin/lp - that would probably be one with the
original "lpr" package install - "-P" will also fail, as the "lpr" program
uses "-d" option for something quite different. In this case, the "-d"
option from "a2ps" will have to be converted back into a "-P" option by
the script.
