Bugzilla – Bug 209879
Duplex support in pstoraster is not working properly
Last modified: 2006-12-21 13:32:38 UTC
After the bugfix for https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=161004 the pstoraster utility stopped to honor the cupsflipDuplex flag (that lets pstoraster flip the data for the pages that have to be printed on the backside) This has been fixed in espgs 8.15.3. The str with patch can be found at http://www.cups.org/espgs/str.php?L1987+P0+S1+C0+I0+E0+Qduplex
I reassign it to our Ghostscript maintainer.
It is fixed in 8.15.3.
Andreas? I'll need a SWAMP ID for this bug and bug #202092 ... only the problem of bug #203287 isn't solved by espgs 8.15.3. With this the update for SLES10-SP1 would be dead.
We will release an update with fixes for bug #202092, bug #209879 and bug #203287. bug #203287 is still worked on, but I expect a solution is not to far away. Werner, ask Anja for a SWAMPID in 203287, when you have a fix.

The maintenance update under test (ghostscript-library-8.15.3-18.2) introduces a bug on sles10-ia64 in the driver "sgirgb": When using d=sgirgb cat /usr/share/ghostscript/*/examples/colorcir.ps \ | gs -dBATCH -dSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=$d \ -sOutputFile='| cat >&3' /dev/fd/0 3>&1 1>&2 \ | cat - >/tmp/gs.$d.prn ls -l /tmp/gs.$d.prn I get "*** glibc detected *** gs: double free or corruption (!prev): 0x6000000000301df0 ***" I can not reproduce this with the previous version (ghostscript-library-8.15.2rc1-20.4) This does not happen on i386, x86_64, ppc* or s390x. Attaching backtrace and out of gs in a minute. Please advise.
Created attachment 107868 [details] backtrace of gs using driver sgirgb
Created attachment 107869 [details] output of gs using sgirgb
Do you really stop this process due a not needed driver? This makes no sence.
Beside this, why there is an older version in SLES10-SP1 in comparision to SLES10?
The glibc message of the glibc in commant #10 is not complete, is it? I'm missing the function which the glibc always mention.
I'm not stoping this. The maintenance update is still in the qa queue. However, since the defect is caused by one of the fixes that comes with the maintenance update the update would deteriorate the customers installation. The person responsible for the swamp workflow should judge if we should release this in the current state or rework the patch. For ease of use, please use merope.suse.de for reproduction (it's the QA's reference host).
Just fixed the sgirgb driver it now does not overwrite its stack anymore and also should work on an itanium system. Put them to /work/src/done/SLES10/ghostscript-library/ ... I'm going to ask rudi to remove the older ghostscript-library from SLES10-SP1
IMO - SGIRGB isn't of real interest nowadays. If noone has objections, let us release the tested update. The fix for SGIRGB could be released with the next update.
I just qa approved the old update.
I fixed the bug of comment #10 therefore I'll close this bug as fixed. If someone does not like this reopen _and reassign the bug to your self.
