>Description:
apsfilter's regular call (in 7.1.1 and 7.2.2) to convert PDF
data into postscript
acroread4 $ACROREAD_OPTS -pairs "$APS_TMPDIR/pdf" /dev/stdout
fails with a 'permission denied' on reading "$APS_TMPDIR/pdf".
Replacing "/dev/stdout" with some real file makes acroread
work. -> Any kind of i386 linux emulation problem?
>How-To-Repeat:
Install apsfilter and acroread, install at least one printer
and try to print a PDF file with it.
>Fix:
The following diff is at least one (avoid using of
'/dev/stdout'):
