Comment 1 Dario Lesca 2015-04-29 10:52:41 UTC
I have same error:

On Fedora 21 NOT work (same input file):
[lesca@dodo ~]$ rpm -q psutils
psutils-1.23-6.fc21.x86_64
[lesca@dodo ~]$ cat /tmp/out.ps | psnup -q -2  >/tmp/out2.ps
psnup: could not get default paper size

On Fedora 20 work (same input file):
[lesca@macprolinux ~]$ rpm -q psutils
psutils-1.17-43.fc20.x86_64
[lesca@macprolinux ~]$ cat /tmp/out.ps | psnup -q -2  >/tmp/out2.ps

Workaround:
[lesca@dodo ~]$ sudo yum remove psutils
[lesca@dodo ~]$ sudo yum install ftp://bo.mirror.garr.it/pub/1/fedora/linux/releases/20/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/p/psutils-1.17-43.fc20.x86_64.rpm
[lesca@dodo ~]$ sudo sh -c 'echo "exclude=psutils" >> /etc/yum.conf'

Comment 2 Jiri Popelka 2015-05-27 13:00:20 UTC
psnup consults paperconf binary (libpaper package) to see what are the default paper dimensions. Problem here seems to be that returned width & height contain comma instead of decimal point, i.e. it (paperconf -s) returns (a4 paper in my case)
595,276 841,89
instead of
595.276 841.89
and psutil then fails to parse it.

It's caused by
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/libpaper.git/tree/libpaper-useglibcfallback.patch

I don't know why libpaper uses that patch,
but psutil should probably handle it somehow.

Comment 3 Dario Lesca 2015-05-27 13:40:08 UTC
This issue still exist into f22.

Workaround in this case is the same, but:
...
sudo sh -c 'echo "exclude=psutils" >> /etc/dnf/dnf.conf'
...
