I've had about two reports from different people that n-up printing on evince doesn't work somehow. I haven't yet attempted to reproduce this myself, but I'm filing this in case someone else wants to look into it first.

I get daily mail from two Debathena machines with:

/etc/cron.daily/debathena-lprng: 2010-01-06-06:28:43.020 abra Init_tempfile: bad tempdir '/var/spool/lpd/%P'

One is a jaunty machine, and one is a hardy machine. (Hmm... actually, I haven't gotten mail from the jaunty machine in half a month, but it's possible MIT is eating it. I'll focus this bug report on the hardy machine, which is still sending me mail.)

kchen@abra:~$ ls -l /etc/cron.daily/debathena-lprng -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1241 2008-06-17 13:50 /etc/cron.daily/debathena-lprng

It looks like debathena-lprng-no-server-config is supposed to remove the cron job. One thing I just noticed is:

kchen@abra:~$ dpkg -S debathena-lprng-no-server-config | grep diversion diversion by debathena-lprng-no-server-config from: /etc/cron.daily/lprng diversion by debathena-lprng-no-server-config to: /usr/share/debathena-lprng-no-server-config/etc++cron.daily++lprng

Should /etc/cron.daily/debathena-lprng be diverted in addition to /etc/cron.daily/lprng? Or not installed? (I don't actually know what the cron job is supposed to do... I just know it sends me mail with an error every day.)

While upgrading from Karmic to Lucid, the post-install script for debathena-pyhesiodfs seemed to freeze (related to me not having valid kerberos tickets at the time?). After canceling with ctrl-c (after a long wait), the remainder of the dist-upgrade proceed without obvious problem, only to run into the same error when doing the (automatically run after install for an upgrade with errors) "dpkg --configure -a". At least, the post-install script for that package should have a timeout or something so that whatever else it does (if anything) doesn't fail if the automounter cannot be restarted.
