Re: [hylafax-users] Updated ghostscript breaks Hylafax on Fedora 12

OK, Can you tell me how to reproduce that ? On my testing I couldn't find an error msg, It would be nice to know how to test this.
Just running pdftops seemed to work as usual.

Thanks,

Eliran.

Hello All.
I have a working Hylafax setup of version hylafax-5.1.8-1.i386 on Fedora 12 (2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.i686.PAE)
Running with ghostscript-8.70-1.fc12.i686 everything works well, but when upgrading to ghostscript-8.71-4.fc12.i686 hylafax starts sending empty pages with only the tagline visible.
The problem is when sending a PDF file, and at the same time, TIFF files are sent ok.

There is no error msg nor in /var/log/messages, nor in dmesg, and not even with sendfax -vv. All seems well, but the fax is sent empty.

I'm not sure if I should open a bug with Fedora about the latest ghostscript package, or if its something more Hylafax related, though I suspect that if a new ghostscript breaks Hylafax, its ghostscript's fault.

I've not tested it thoroughly, but the new Ghostscript 8.71 in Fedora 12 seems to segfault on me when preparing the Fontmap.HylaFAX in HylaFAX+.

Yes, I suspect it's Ghostscript.

Thanks,

Lee.
