This same problem exists with AWS3.0. I don't understand what exactly is happening but I discovered that by uninstalling/installing a2ps it seems to work just fine. --> a2ps foo a2ps: cannot find file `pcrr8a.afm': No such file or directory --> locate pcrr8a.afm --> rpm -e a2ps --> rpm -i a2ps-4.13b-28.i386.rpm --> updatedb --> locate pcrr8a.afm --> a2ps foo Note that pcrr8a.afm is still not available but a2ps no longer references it. The rpm tetex-afm-1.0.7-66 contains the file: /usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/adobe/courier/pcrr8a.afm. That particular RPM is not currently installed on our systems. My current work-around is to not install a2ps as part of Kickstart and install it after Kickstart is complete. I can document exactly what is installed if that would be useful. I suspect this is due to a missing PreReq in the spec file. I've added this: PreReq: sed, coreutils to the rawhide package. Could you verify that your installation is installing one or both of the above packages *after* a2ps? Either could cause this I think. Suspect this is no longer an issue. |
Description of problem: a2ps fails with: a2ps: cannot find file `pcrr8a.afm': No such file or directory Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): a2ps-4.13b-28 How reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. Setup RH9 printing with LPRng to HP LJ5m or similar 2. Print pdf file with acroread with courier font? 3. Additional info: Server is stripped down, no KDE or GNOME components. The font in question is at:/usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/adobe/courier/pcrr8a.afm, from the texmf package, although it is apparently also in the gnome-print package which I don't want to install. /etc/a2ps.conf does not reference the texmf font directories (of which there are a lot). Is is possible to tell a2ps in a2ps.conf to search all subdirectories of a path element?
