enscript package bug+fix
Hi,
In enscript_1.4.0-2, the file /usr/lib/enscript/simple.hdr has the
line
%Format: fmodstr $D{%a %b %2d %T %Y}
This produces a date in the header where the day is always "d". If
you remove the '2' before the 'd' then you'll get the correct date.
Since this is a string that gets passed to strftime(), perhaps the
author's machine uses a different strftime() than Debian's latest
"stable" does (libc.so.5.4.20), one that understands the '%2d'; for
this reason it's not necessarily a bug in the gnu code (e.g., perhaps
gnu libc's strftime() interprets this as expected), but it is a bug in
the Debian package to not conform to our strftime().
Thanks for your time,
