Bug#482090: cups-genppdupdate does not keep ppd files localized

["Paul Thomas" <pw1517@gmail.com>]

Package: cupsys-driver-gutenprint
Version: 5.0.2-2+b1

While upgrading the package, the post-install script calls cups-genppdupdate.5.0 to update ppd files used by cups and stored in /etc/cups/ppd.

If the system runs a locale different than "C", e.g. de_DE.UTF-8, and the original ppd contains the localized strings for that locale, then the updated ppd no longer contains translated strings bu only English ones.

I believe this is the result of a coding error in the cups-genppdupdate perl script, for which I am attaching a patch.

 Thank you
