From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.2.1) Gecko/20010901 Description of problem: The rpm-distribution (4.13) produces non-valid postscript, ie. not handable by ghostscript. I solved the problem by installing the same version af a2ps from source downloaded from the a2ps homepage http://www.inf.enst.fr/~demaille/a2ps/ Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.execute a2ps on some text file 2. 3. Additional info:
I need much more information than this. Please attach a test case (input and output).
Damn! After having uninstalled a2ps built from source and reinstalled the rpm version I'm unable to reproduce the problem! A2ps was among the utilities I tested immediately after having installed RH7.2 from scratch on a new disk a month ago - choosing installation of all rpms. At that time I repeatedly got corrupted postscript output. Sorry for the unconveniance
Can you describe the way in which the postscript was corrupted?
I could if I had preserved the postscript output (I almost always use a2ps with -o). But I didn't preserve it so that I could run gv on it. Sorry:-(
Okay. It was probably the locale bug that is fixed in rawhide.
