Package: gs-common
Version: 0.3.11
Severity: normal
When creating a LaTeX file in DIN A4 beginning like this
\documentclass[a4paper]{scrartcl}
(it is independant of the LaTeX class), running latex on it, and then
running dvipdf or (dvips + ps2pdf) on it, the document comes out in
paper format "letter" (gv shows "y792x612"), which is wrong.
It does not change anything if I set LC_ALL and LANG to de_DE.UTF-8.
On Debian Sarge this worked as it should (resulting paper size is DIN A4).
On Debian Etch it works as expected if I use "dvips -t a4" to create
the .dvi file.
Maybe this problem is related to bug report #256011? Or is it a problem
of dvips (we use tetex-bin).
It would be helpful if you can provide me with a fix for this problem,
as we are running ~150 Linux workstations, on which many people use
LaTeX and will not be able to create PDF files with the correct paper
size as it worked before on Debian Sarge. To tell everyone to use -t a4
is not an option, I think.
Thank you, with regards, Alex
