Comment 1 Tim Waugh 2013-04-24 13:52:05 UTC 
I can't reproduce this here.

What does 'ls -lR ~/.a2ps' say?  Also, how about 'rpm -V a2ps'?
Comment 2 guilde.nt 2013-04-24 17:05:58 UTC 
$ ls -lR ~/.a2ps
ls: cannot access /home/nt/.a2ps: No such file or directory
$
$ rpm -V a2ps
$

  I have two machines displaying this error. Both went from f16 to f18, with
f17 as a stepping stone. On both, a2ps works correctly for 'root'.
Comment 3 Tim Waugh 2013-04-25 09:28:56 UTC 
Please run 'echo hello | strace 2>strace.txt /bin/a2ps' and attach strace.txt.  Thanks.

Created attachment 740003 [details]
echo hello | strace 2>strace.txt /bin/a2ps
Comment 5 Tim Waugh 2013-04-29 11:24:33 UTC 
What does 'locale' say?
Comment 6 guilde.nt 2013-04-29 16:07:55 UTC 
$ locale
LANG=
LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.iso885915@euro
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES=en_US.utf8
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=

  With LC_CTYPE=C or POSIX, fr_FR.utf8, fr_FR, fr_FR.iso88591, it works. I will switch to fr_FR.iso88591.
  Thank you.
Comment 7 Tim Waugh 2013-04-30 11:59:36 UTC 
Thanks. I wasn't able to reproduce the symptom here, but valgrind had some things to say about malloc/free which I've now fixed.

Should work fine in a2ps-4.14-20.fc18.
