Bug ID: 39208
Summary: printoverdues.sh requires unavailable cli tool
Change sponsored?: ---
Product: Koha
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5 - low
Component: Command-line Utilities

`printoverdues.sh` relies on `xhtml2pdf` for the conversion of a HTML document
to a printable PDF version of said document.
At time of writing, this tool dropped out of Debian (bookworm) and Ubuntu
stable and sometimes older releases including backports and the like. Debian
oldstable still keeps it, but no upstream releases beyond.
This may endanger the functionality in Koha upstream.
Possible solutions:
- Manual installation outside the package management (and bugfixing) of the
distribution via `pip`. That would also require a suitable documentation.
- Use an alternative tool chain within the distributions (e.g. pandoc, if
heading for a swiss army knife of format transformations. For PDF pandoc would
require latex as "helper").
Note that `printoverdues.sh` is referred to explicitly in the implementation
checklist.
