Bug#927226: libpaper1: Fresh RC1 install doesn't configure /etc/papersize
Hello Thorsten, thank you very much for your testing. Indeed the bug required more fixing than what I did. I did follow your steps for reproducing it, and now I have a new package that fix it. If you want to try it, please fetch it here: https://eppesuigoccas.homedns.org/~giuseppe/debian/libpaper1_1.1.27_amd64.deb https://eppesuigoccas.homedns.org/~giuseppe/debian/libpaper-utils_1.1.27_amd64.deb or dget https://eppesuigoccas.homedns.org/~giuseppe/debian/libpaper_1.1.27.dsc Bye, Giuseppe

What I did in a fresh, German localized, text-only install of RC1 (AMD64) with "sid" updates installed: Downloaded both 1.2.24+nmu5 (stretch) and 1.2.27 (sid) versions of libpaper1 and libpaper-utils. Purged the installed packages: dpkg --force-all --purge libpaper1 libpaper-utils Checked /var/cache/debconf/config.dat for remaining configuration of libpaper and deleted it if any. (This happens after a manual override of /etc/papersize with dpkg-reconfigure libpaper1) Installed either version a) 24 or b) 27: dpkg --install ./libpaper1_XXX_amd64.deb ./libpaper-utils_XXX_amd64.deb In case a) I got a4 and in case b) letter in both /etc/papersize and /var/cache/debconf/config.dat. I hope this will help you to finally nail down this nasty bug... Bye, Thorsten

Hello Thorsten, Voip, and Jacob, I think the problem has been solved in version 1.1.27, currently in unstable. I would really appreciate if you could test it, as well as I did. If this package passes your tests, I will ask for an unblock that will let the package migrate to testing/buster in a few days.

Hello Thorsten, it seems the problem raises while building the package; it is not related to the new installer (as I was initially thinking). In fact, while building the package, make displays a notice about a circular dependency of debian/libpaper1.config and build-arch. Indeed, make is right. I am going to check debian/rules file in order to fix the problem. Thank you, Giuseppe
Bug#927226: libpaper1: Fresh RC1 install doesn't configure /etc/papersize
I've just run into this too. Same situation: fresh RC1 install on amd64,
libpaper1 1.1.26. United Kingdom (en_GB) locale. I expected "a4" but got
"letter" in /etc/papersize.
I notice that /var/lib/dpkg/info/libpaper1:amd64.config seems to be
missing its list of paper sizes between __BEGIN_PAPERSPECS__ and
__END_PAPERSPECS__. This might be relevant? Has the referenced
debian/rules machinery gone wrong?
defaultpaper () {
...
# Try to find a matching paper size. The data must be embedded here
# (done automatically by debian/rules) because the rest of the package
# may not have been unpacked at this stage.
...
__BEGIN_PAPERSPECS__
__END_PAPERSPECS__
}
The equivalent file on a stretch installation has contents like
__BEGIN_PAPERSPECS__
a4 210 mm 297 mm
letter 215.9 mm 279.4 mm
...
__END_PAPERSPECS__
