If tex-config is installed without TeX being installed, you get

/var/lib/dpkg/info/debathena-tex-config.postinst: 154: fmtutil-sys: not found

and the preinst fails.

If tex-config is removed under... some circumstances? (Possibly TeX being removed at the same time? We're getting this when aptitude decides to remove all of debathena-cluster), you get several errors of the form

fmtutil: running `pdftex -ini   -jobname=pdftex -progname=pdftex -translate-file=cp227.tcx *pdfetex.ini' ...

and then finally

fmtutil: Error! Not all formats have been built successfully.

and the postinst fails.

(I have the full log if that's interesting, and I can probably also get to /var/lib/texmf/web2c.)

This is a continuation of ticket #652, which we worked around locally by detecting pre-1.4 clients and falling back to an implementation of RFC-1179 lpq in five lines of Python.

We've opened  ticket #3619 in CUPS' bugtracker about this issue. They recommended trying a newer version of the 1.3.x branch, but that did not work for me. We should track down what's different between the lpq implementations in 1.3 and 1.4.

I'll note that although lpstat seemed to work for Jon, it does not for me (on Linerva, with cups-bsd 1.3.8-1+lenny8). Perhaps something is wrong with my syntax, but...

(cvp has cups-bsd 1.4.3-1ubuntu1.2.) Should I expect something after "Connecting to printer..."?

Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" reached DebianImportFreeze? a while ago and FeatureFreeze? the other day. It is definitely time to build all packages for Maverick and see what happens.
