Bug#319109: cupsys-driver-gutenprint: syntax error on local ppd file

[Andrew Pimlott <andrew@pimlott.net>]

Package: cupsys-driver-gutenprint
Version: 4.3.99+cvs20050715-1
Severity: normal

I just upgraded to cupsys-driver-gutenprint, purging
cupsys-driver-gimpprint and cupsys-driver-gimpprint-data.  In the
output, I got a whole bunch of lines "Writing ...", and then:

    sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `('
    sh: -c: line 0: `egrep -i -l "Gutenprint|Gimp-Print" /etc/cups/ppd/Color-LaserJet-4600-v3010.107-Postscript-(recommended).ppd'
    No Gutenprint PPD files to update.

/etc/cups/ppd/Color-LaserJet-4600-v3010.107-Postscript-(recommended).ppd
was a file I found via linuxprinting.org and installed with
gnome-cups-add.

The error comes from /usr/sbin/cups-genppdupdate.5.0, and it looks like
someone was sloppy around line 93.  If you can assume a newer perl, I
believe you should be able to use something like

    open PPDFILES, '-|', qw( egrep -i -l ), "Gutenprint|Gimp-Print", @ppdglob

to avoid shell quoting problems.  Actually, it seems like

    open PPDFILES, "egrep -i -l \"Gutenprint|Gimp-Print\" *.{ppd,PPD}|"

might do just as well.
