cups 2.1.3-7

Attempting to print the cups Test Page from the browser interface fails which displays "Filter failed".

I killed cupsd and opened the log with a text editor - I did try opening the error log from the Admin page of the browser interface but and unknown username/password combination is required.

The log indicates the print job failed due to "gstoraster stopped with status 11."

autoconf has a problem that prevents from using options with spaces in LDFLAGS and other similar variables (e.g. a typical "-Zlinker 'DISABLE 1121' to kill the infamous and highly annoying "symbol is already exported" WLINK warning). This problem is illustrated by the following code:

#!/bin/sh

ac_link='python.exe -c "import sys; print sys.argv" $LDFLAGS'
LDFLAGS="-lcx -Zlinker 'DISABLE 1121'"

eval "$ac_link"

You will get this output:

['-c', '-lcx', '-Zlinker', "'DISABLE", "1121'"]

Where you can clearly see that the value for the -Zlinker option was split instead of being passed as a whole. In case of a compiler, this makes it think that 1121" is a file and fail with "file not found" error.

Note that the problem only shows up in autoconf when LDFLAGS appears in eval and such. And this happens in many places, e.g. in AC_CHECK_LIB functions which simply start always failing in such a case.

Installing libodin with dash as default shell creates junk entries in ODIN.INI, rendering (for example) Java half-broken:

[DEVDIRECTORIES]
WINDOWS=M:^Kar\lib\odin


[ODINSYSTEM]
PE_EXE=M:\usin\PE.EXE
PEC_EXE=M:\usin\PEC.EXE
W16ODIN_EXE=M:\usin\W16ODIN.EXE

This junk handling is also propagated to the Odin32 registry entries.

Apparently, bash handles these things properly, as does ash. However, shifting from dash to ash as the default shell is not very easy.
