Bug#230209: foomatic-ppdfile broke backward compatibility by no longer providing a -t parameter
package kdeprint
retitle 230209 foomatic: foomatic-ppdfile broke BC by losing -t parameter
reassign 230209 foomatic-db-engine
thanks
Hi,
I'm reassigning this bug to the package containing foomatic-ppdfile
because it's a pretty important bug to break BC imho.
cheers
