Package: psutils
Version: 1.17-20
Severity: normal
psnup (from psutils 1.17-20) does not use /etc/papersize for
the default papersize, which results in the following error
message when calling psnup with the '-2' option only:
kunze$ psnup -2 /tmp/bla.ps > /tmp/bla.2up.ps
psnup: page width and height must be set
kunze$
When specifying a paper size, psnup works as expected:
kunze$ psnup -2 /tmp/bla.ps > /tmp/bla.2up.ps
kunze$
It seems that psnup is not consulting /etc/papersize (as
promised in the manpage):
kunze$ cat /etc/papersize
a4
kunze$ strace psnup -2 /tmp/bla.ps 2>&1 |fgrep papersize
kunze$ ltrace psnup -2 /tmp/bla.ps 2>&1 |fgrep papersize
kunze$
I recall that psnup from psutils 1.17-19 worked correctly (as I use
psnup fairly often, I would have stumbled upon the bug earlier).
Please contact me if I should downgrade the package or help in any
other way to elaborate on this bug.
