Description of problem: After upgrading to the latest Ghostscript package, Hylafax started sending Empty pages. I mean, when you send a fax with the original Fedora 12 ghostscript (ghostscript-8.70-1.fc12.i686), the fax is ok, but when sending a pdf page as a fax with hylafax and the latest ghostscript (8.71-4.fc12) hylafax starts to send Empty pages with only the tag line at the top. Sending TIFF files as a fax works well while there is a problem with PDF files. Using hylafax-5.1.8-1.i386 on Fedora 12 (2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.i686.PAE) I couldn't find further information while looking at the regular logs, nor with the fax sending command in verbose mode (sendfax -vv) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ghostscript (8.71-4.fc12) How reproducible: install the latest ghostscript (8.71-4.fc12) Steps to Reproduce: 1. install ghostscript (8.71-4.fc12) 2. try to send a PDF page as a fax. 3. Actual results: The fax page sent is Empty, with just the fax tag line at the top. Expected results: Additional info:
Does 'sendfax -vv' mention how it is calling ghostscript at all? Does it say anything at all about converting the file?
The default MaxStripSize had changed from 0 in ghostscript-8.70 to 8192 in ghostscript-8.71. I've set it back to 0 in ghostscript-8.71-5.fc12. Could you give it a go pleas? http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=161952
I've include the upstream version of that fix, along with some other TIFF-related fixes, in ghostscript-8.71-6.fc12 which has been submitted as a test update for Fedora 12. Please that that and let me know how it goes. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/ghostscript-8.71-6.fc12
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
