The message printed during a2ps installation about a new fonts.map file being generated doesn't say what directory it's in. It should. Furthermore, the script that generates the new fonts.map file should check if the new one is identical to the one that's already there. If is it, it should simply delete the new one, rather than printing a pointless message about it.
It has been fixed. The messages are just being sent to /dev/null. It should never have made it out the door in that state anyway since our polijcy is not to allow pre and post messages to lprint messages. 4.13-4 should fix this in rawhide. Tim
