Bug#172715: tetex calculates paper dimensions wrong



Package: tetex-base
Version: 1.0.2+20021025-3
Severity: normal
Tags: sid upstream 

Hi,

Since upgrading to the newest versions of tetex-* (Unfortunately I
cannot say which version was the one where that broke but I assume
that that problem is since the CVS snapshot) tetex-* calulates the
paper dimensions wrong.

I recognized that when using muttprint to print out a mail from mutt.

(For the following I created a dummy test message)

When using under woody (I have a woody chroot) with the up to date
deb from muttprint which is in sid, I get the following:

http://people.debian.org/~rene/debian/tetex-size-bug/woody.ps

When using sid:

http://people.debian.org/~rene/debian/tetex-size/bug/sid.ps

Looking first, there does not seem to be any difference there.

But If you print out (I've a4 as paper and muttprint has called latex
and dvips so that this is recognized) the woody version, all is
printed. If I print it in sid, the line with Date and Page Numbers is
moved down (you cannot see it then beacsue it it outside of the a4
scope.

See http://people.debian.org/~rene/debian/tetex-size/bug/sid_printout.ps

This breaks muttprint's displaying of Date and Page numbers in the
last line on a huge amount of systems because then the line is placed
to low so it is not printed.

I doubt that this is a problem with cups because the other file on
woody is printed fully correct....

Regards,

Rene

P.S: In my muttprint standard conf, the rule before the
"Date-and-Pagenumber-line" is not enabled, I enabled it here to show
the effect more clearly...
