[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug in cups-1.3.10

System affected :
Linux msijpd 2.6.29-3.slh.1-sidux-686 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat May 9
00:39:53 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

(I also have a x86-64 laptop with Sidux, which is affected exactly
in the same way.)

Below the output of `dpkg -l | grep cups`

Problem:
Since I have upgraded to cups-1.3.10, printing to PDF virtual printer
is broken, iceweasel sends back "Unknown error during printing",
and even sometimes segfaults (on the other hand, printing in postscript
to a file and converting afterwards to pdf with ps2pdf still works)
The spool firectory remains empty, as well as my HOME/PDF directory.
Other (hardware) printers still work without change.

Reverting to cups-1.3.9 solves the cups-pdf problem temporarily, but puts me
out of sync with sid. Downgrading cups-pdf without downgrading 
cups itself does not help.

I have not been able to locate the reason for this problem. It occurs 
before /usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf is called (the process seems
to be interrupted before).
