Bug#738440: cups: new version contains Ubuntu Bug #1019662

[Randy Reitz <randy.reitz@gmail.com>]

It was an adventure, but I finally made a new foomatic-rip.  It works!!

Along the way, I picked up:

rreitz@sheevaplug:~/cups-filters-1.0.43$ dpkg -l cups-filters

Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold

| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend

|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)

||/ Name                  Version         Architecture    Description

+++-=====================-===============-===============-===============================================

ii  cups-filters          1.0.44-2        armel           OpenPrinting CUPS Filters - Main Package

which does not work, but I guess you know that.

I look forward to 1.0.44-3.

Thanks,

Randy

I have fixed the problem upstream (BZR rev. 7159) now. I do not use
PATH+MAX any more for strings which are used to hold a command line.
Command lines have 65535 bytes now.

Please test and tell whether it solves the problem. If so, I will
release a new cups-filters version.

At least it doesn't cause obvious regressions for me.

Till: if you release a new version, can you include your fix for the
upstart job?

Randy: can you recompile cups-filters on your platform with the attached
patch and confirm that it works?
