Indeed, several other people using *Debian* had no problem with it...
Maybe it only affects x86 architectures or something? (I don't know what the

We'd have to check if they all use the same underlying library or not.
imagemagick uses libmagick5.5.7, but hylafax seems to use gs. This again

No, mozilla should update automatically. Stupid question, did you upgrade
xprt-common? The PDF printer is in /etc/Xprint/.../printer.
