Package: texlive-latex-base Version: 2009-7 Severity: normal When printing some PDF file generated by pdflatex, either with xpdf or via pdftops + lpr, a horizontal line is missing from the output (only on the paper, not on the screen). There's no such problem with lpr run on the PDF file directly. I don't have any idea where the problem comes from. I'm reporting the bug against texlive, assuming the original problem might come from it, since the bug appears with both xpdf and pdftops + lpr.
Note: pdftops comes from poppler-utils 0.12.2-2.1. With the attached (very short) testcase: $ pdflatex missing-line.tex $ lpr missing-line.pdf -> OK $ xpdf missing-line.pdf -> When printing, the bottom line of the rectangle is missing. $ pdftops missing-line.pdf $ lpr missing-line.ps -> Same problem. -- Package-specific info: If you report an error when running one of the TeX-related binaries (latex, pdftex, metafont,...), or if the bug is related to bad or wrong output, please include a MINIMAL example input file that produces the error in your report. Don't forget to also include minimal examples of other files that are needed, e.g. bibtex databases. Often it also helps to include the logfile. Please, never send included pictures! If your example file isn't short or produces more than one page of output (except when multiple pages are needed to show the problem), you can probably minimize it further. Instructions on how to do that can be found at http://www.latex-einfuehrung.de/mini-en.html (english) or http://www.latex-einfuehrung.de/mini.html (german) ################################## minimal input file ################################## other files ###################################### List of ls-R files -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1851 2010-03-01 12:06:55 /var/lib/texmf/ls-R -rw-rw-r-- 1 root staff 80 2010-01-05 01:42:38 /usr/local/share/texmf/ls-R lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 2010-03-01 12:05:56 /usr/share/texmf/ls-R -> /var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXMFMAIN lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 2010-01-05 16:16:50 /usr/share/texmf-texlive/ls-R -> /var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXLIVE lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 2010-01-05 16:16:50 /usr/share/texmf-texlive/ls-R -> /var/lib/texmf/ls-R-TEXLIVE ###################################### Config files lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2010-03-01 12:05:56 /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf -> /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6520 2010-03-01 12:06:27 /var/lib/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14076 2010-03-01 12:06:26 /var/lib/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12407 2010-03-01 12:06:26 /var/lib/texmf/tex/generic/config/language.dat ###################################### Files in /etc/texmf/web2c/ total 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 283 2009-06-09 22:40:03 mktex.cnf ###################################### md5sums of texmf.d 3875bf0f4a53a29b7f247399dc9833e2 /etc/texmf/texmf.d/05TeXMF.cnf 6e82a3d4c00ae7e4f86aa8dcf9438cf3 /etc/texmf/texmf.d/15Plain.cnf c60a084820a0b73e3bfbf2e90bda437c /etc/texmf/texmf.d/45TeXinputs.cnf ea33127256c6a9f37145ae5b16fdb80c /etc/texmf/texmf.d/55Fonts.cnf afccf1d3f87057411166a77c58e00bd1 /etc/texmf/texmf.d/65BibTeX.cnf 9da7c1c7b1eaf06f941af91f48a23068 /etc/texmf/texmf.d/75DviPS.cnf 37329819f1109e8a457e64b8b58fecdb /etc/texmf/texmf.d/85Misc.cnf a8952d594677235951d447665ec46e9c /etc/texmf/texmf.d/90TeXDoc.cnf bab3b7e578107f999fa1b0768994f6f8 /etc/texmf/texmf.d/95NonPath.cnf -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages texlive-latex-base depends on: ii dpkg 1.15.5.6 Debian package management system ii tex-common 2.07 common infrastructure for building ii texlive-base 2009-7 TeX Live: Essential programs and f ii texlive-binaries 2009-5 Binaries for TeX Live ii texlive-common 2009-7 TeX Live: Base component Versions of packages texlive-latex-base recommends: ii texlive-latex-base-doc 2009-7 TeX Live: Documentation files for texlive-latex-base suggests no packages.
