Package: efax
Version: 1:0.9a-19
Severity: important
Any attempt to send a postscript file fails with
efax: 38:50 Error: can't read multi-strip TIFF files
efax: 38:50 Error: missing offset to TIFF data
efax: 38:50 done, returning 2 (unrecoverable error)
>From http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.printing.ghostscript.cvs/9046
it seems, that efax doesn't like the tiff files generated by ghostscript
anymore (or deeper: The problem is really that 'efax' is a non-compliant TIFF
reader).
The workaround would be for efax to call gs with an additional option
-dMaxStripSize=0
A tiff file manually created with
gs -q -sDEVICE=tiffg3 -dNOPAUSE -dMaxStripSize=0 \
-sOutputFile=sample.%03d sample.ps </dev/null
was sent without problems.
