Package: cups Version: 1.3.8-1lenny4.1 Severity: important
This issue I am experiencing was brieifly discussed on pkg-cups-devel last year, but I found no relevant bugs, hence I'm filing one. This bug relates to this part of the problem (as discribed here): http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-cups-devel/2008-February/004815.htm ....for the benefit of search engines and the impatient: > This means that 'gs' will exit with exit code 1 in case of error, however, > 'cifmp160' > will exit with exit code 0 in case of an error. The following can be read in > bash(1), > chapter "Pipelines": > > > The return status of a pipeline is the exit status of the last command, > > unless the > > pipefail option is enabled. If pipefail is enabled, the pipeline's return > > status > > is the value of the last (rightmost) command to exit with a non-zero > > status, or > > zero if all commands exit successfully. > > This means that the exit code of the full pipeline will be zero, but there > was some > commands which failed in the pipe! > > Márton Németh ....of course, the root problem triggering this issue is probably down to Ghostscript: > $ cat test.ps |/usr/bin/gs -r600 -g4958x7016 -q -dNOPROMPT -dSAFER > -sDEVICE=ppmraw \ > -sOutputFile=- -| /usr/local/bin/cifmp160 --imageres 600 --papersize a4 > --media plain --paperload asf --bbox 9,14,585,834 > BJLSTART > ControlMode=Common > SetTime=20080221204253 > BJLEND > CIF COMMAND ERROR :file access Error! > not support this image format > $ echo $? > 0 I know nothing about any of the components involved, but Ghostscript not supporting an image format required in normal usage is probably a bug, requiring either work on Ghostscript or a change of Postscript engine...dunno. - Jamie -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages cups depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii cups-common 1.3.8-1lenny4.1 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii debconf [debconf-2.0 1.5.26 Debian configuration management sy ii ghostscript 8.64~dfsg-1 The GPL Ghostscript PostScript/PDF ii libavahi-compat-libd 0.6.24-2 Avahi Apple Bonjour compatibility ii libc6 2.9-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcups2 1.3.8-1lenny4.1 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libcupsimage2 1.3.8-1lenny4.1 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.12-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libgnutls26 2.6.4-2 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libkrb53 1.6.dfsg.4~beta1-11 Transitional library package/krb4 ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.11-1 OpenLDAP libraries ii libpam0g 1.0.1-9 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpaper1 1.1.23+nmu1 library for handling paper charact ii libslp1 1.2.1-7.5 OpenSLP libraries ii lsb-base 3.2-22 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii perl-modules 5.10.0-19 Core Perl modules ii poppler-utils [xpdf- 0.10.4-3 PDF utilitites (based on libpopple ii procps 1:3.2.7-11 /proc file system utilities ii ssl-cert 1.0.23 simple debconf wrapper for OpenSSL Versions of packages cups recommends: pn avahi-utils <none> (no description available) pn cups-client <none> (no description available) pn foomatic-filters <none> (no description available) pn smbclient <none> (no description available) Versions of packages cups suggests: pn cups-bsd <none> (no description available) pn cups-driver-gutenprint <none> (no description available) pn cups-pdf <none> (no description available) pn foomatic-db <none> (no description available) pn foomatic-db-engine <none> (no description available) pn hplip <none> (no description available) pn xpdf-korean | xpdf-japanese | <none> (no description available) -- debconf information: cupsys/raw-print: true cupsys/backend: ipp, lpd, parallel, scsi, serial, socket, usb, snmp, dnssd -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
