Bug Description

Binary package hint: cups

While researching for Bug #604724, I found an alternative pdftops(http://www.srz.de/Members/bla/cups/filter/pdftops) that can use acroread. I was looking into using it and found that the acroread.conf and pdftops.conf files that are provided with it are already in /etc/cups verbatim. However, I don't see the perl program anywhere in the cups package.

So, I think those files should probably be removed or the perl script should be added.

This bug was fixed in the package cups - 1.4.4-2

---------------
cups (1.4.4-2) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Till Kamppeter ]
  * debian/local/filters/pdf-filters/filter/fontembed/bitset.h,
    debian/local/filters/pdf-filters/filter/fontembed/sfnt.c,
    debian/local/filters/pdf-filters/filter/texttopdf.c: Fixed bug with
    subsetting certain composite chars (LP: #605479).
  * debian/local/acroread.conf, debian/local/pdftops.conf, debian/cups.install:
    Removed /etc/cups/acroread.conf and /etc/cups/pdftops.conf. These two files
    were used by the alternative pdftops filter from Helge Blischke. As we
    switched back to the original pdftops filter these files are not needed any
    more (LP: #605564).
  * debian/local/filters/cpdftocps: The PostScript level from the PPD file
    was not used, but always the default value "2" instead. This made Xerox
    color laser printers crash on some files. Thanks to Roel van Os for the
    patch (LP: #600972).

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * debian/control: Reintroduce the libcupsys2{-dev} Provides:, since some
    third-party printer drivers still depend on them. (LP: #433311)
  * debian/control: Have libcups2 break older cups versions. (Closes: #588643)
