Package: release.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:a2ps

User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
X-Debbugs-Cc: byang@debian.org
Severity: normal

Please unblock package a2ps with 1:4.14-8.

The a2ps/1:4.14-8 upload specifically fixes Debian bug
https://bugs.debian.org/1008579 .

[ Reason ]
The a2ps/1:4.14-8 upload specifically fixes Debian bug
https://bugs.debian.org/1008579 . The fix cherry-picks an
upstream patch to fix the invocation of ghostscript in
/usr/bin/fixps.

[ Impact ]
Users who call /usr/bin/fixps will fail due to error raised
by ghostscript.

[ Tests ]
Manual tests with the related tool.

[ Risks ]
Minimal risk; patch tested by upstream as well. Even if
the fix is flawed, the condition will not be worse because
the tool is already broken.

[ Checklist ]
  [X] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [X] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [X] attach debdiff against the package in testing

Thanks,
Boyuan Yang
