I do not believe this should be in EPEL-6. The a2ps package is shipped in RHEL-6 (Optional), and EPEL is not allowed to override/replace RHEL packages. Currently, packages in both use the same version - a2ps-4.14-10.1.el6. Looks like this should be fixed by removing a2ps from EPEL-6. Note that we are not planning to fix this in RHEL-6 for the reasons explained in bug 1283156.
I'm sorry, it is too late for doing this in EPEL 6, closing as WONTFIX.
