seb128, this regression in 16.04 is caused by the security update of updating Ghostscript to 9.25. Should then perhaps the security team issue this update? And could they do it faster than going the regular SRU way? And can we already do SRUs as the D. D. (19.04) cycle has not started yet?
The update itself would be applying a simple patch, the one from the upstream bug report https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=700023. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ghostscript in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1800062 Title: Ghostscript command line: /usr/bin/gs :Unrecoverable error: undefined in .putdeviceprops Status in GS-GPL: Unknown Status in ghostscript package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: PDF file data fail to rendering to raster data. We were reported a bug from our printer users: I print file use papersize A5 (Ubuntu 16.04.1(x64),Ghostscript 9.18) is Okay. But, after I update (apt-get upgrade) to Ubuntu 16.04.5(x64),Ghostscript 9.25, I print the same file with the same driver there is an error reports: "Filter Error" I figure out that all the papersize with define "LeadingEdge" can't print success after update. (with "LeadingEdge":A5, Statement, A4(without "LeadingEdge") is print Okay). I view the "CUPS Error Log",there is an error reports when print job fails: "Ghostscript command line: /usr/bin/gs -dQUIET -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dNOINTERPOLATE -sDEVICE=cups -sstdout=%stderr -sOutputFile=%stdout -sMediaType=Plain -sOutputType=Pass=1,Direction=1 -r600x600 -dLeadingEdge=1 -dMediaPosition=7 -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=420 -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=595 -dcupsBitsPerColor=8 -dcupsColorOrder=0 -dcupsColorSpace=1 -scupsPageSizeName=A5 -I/usr/share/cups/fonts -c \'<</.HWMargins[14.400000 14.400000 14.399994 14.400024] /Margins[0 0]>>setpagedevice\' -f -_ Unrecoverable error: undefined in .putdeviceprops" Ubuntu 18.04(x64), Ghostscript 9.22 also have the same problem. -------------------------------------------------- ghostscript had confirm that this a bug of ghostscript 9.22(and the later version). Below information is the correspondence of ghostscript: https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=700023 --------------------------------------------------- Our printer driver users(also users of Ubuntu 16.04) can't do their normal print jobs. So, we are eagerly hopping that you can offer us a patch(Ubuntu 16.04) to fix this bug?
