From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: Upgraded to 9 from 8. Under 8 had changed paper size in: /usr/share/groff/1.18.1/font/devX100-12/DESC from A4 to letter. Upgrade to 9 changed back to A4 with no rpmsave file. Installer should check locale, i.e. United States, and make reasonable assumption about paper size, e.g, letter. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): groff-1.18.1-20 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enter 'man -t man | lpr' 2. Go to printer located in US loaded with 8.5 x 11 size paper 3. Observe that paper size format choice is wrong Actual Results: See above. Expected Results: Should have assumed letter size paper Additional info: Upgrade, if it changes anything, should leave an .rpmsave file and an upgrade log entry. I examined /root/upgrade.log. No indication of change.
The above file is no real config file to change papersize. Also upstream groff has decided to not use locale settings to determin the papersize due to historical reasons. I'll stay with that decision for the Red Hat rpm package, too. Thanks a lot for your report, Florian La Roche
