ps-print-buffer failure latest debian emacs-snapshot?

[Nic James Ferrier]

I'm getting:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable ps-mark-code-directory)
  ps-begin-job(ps-generate-postscript)
  ps-generate(#<buffer *mail*> 1 269 ps-generate-postscript)
  ps-spool-without-faces(1 269 nil)
  ps-print-without-faces(1 269 nil)
  ps-print-buffer(nil)
  call-interactively(ps-print-buffer)
  execute-extended-command(nil)
  call-interactively(execute-extended-command)

from ps-print-buffer on the debian snapshot (which tracks head
right?).

Anyone give me a hint what this might be?


I thought I'd be fairly safe upgrading so near release   /8-<

This bug has been fixed in CVS for weeks; you need a newer snapshot.

Sometime ago this problem happened in Emacs CVS, but it is already fixed 
in Emacs CVS.

Probably the debian snapshot was done when Emacs CVS had this problem.

Yes.

The maintainer of the Debian package, Romain Francoise, has stopped
maintaining it because he doesn't want to have to take the
info out of the emacs package because of the stupid Debian / GFDL
thing.

Debian make me really cross about that. It's so silly and must have
cost them so much goodwill.

It's very, very frustrating.
