Bug#379378: kdeprint: poster printing: requires modified "poster"
Package: kdeprint
Version: 4:3.5.3-2
Severity: normal

Hi,
When I want to use poster printing ("Poster" Tab of the printer
properties dialog), it says "poster: invalid option -- F" and the
"Filters" Tab informs me:
WARNING: The package found on the KDEPrint web site is a modified
version of the original one that can be found on any CTAN archive
mirror, but the original package will not work with KDE. You must
use the package found on the KDEPrint web site.
While this behaviour is probably ok for upstream KDE, this is exactly
the integration work I think we (DD) should do...
So please either disable the poster functionality (not good...) or
provide a poster-kdeprint package that conflicts/replaces the original
poster tool and have kdeprint depend on that, or convince poster
upstream or Debian maintainer (cc:ed, if I did the magic correctly) to
accept KDE's modifications.
thanks & greetings
