psset (part of a2ps) fails with different printers and gs when activating duplex printing.

The reason is a »wrong« dependency. The sed script inside /usr/bin/psset replaces PostScript code. This code contains the word »countdictstack« 2 times at the beginning of a line. But a »c« on this position is a keyword in newer versions of GNU sed. So an older version of sed or a newer version of a2ps (if available) should be installed.

A workaround would be to enter a space before the word countdictstack begins (2 times in the file) in the file /usr/bin/psset.

We've tested this (bug and workaround) on different systems with different duplex-capable printers.

Can you please submit this bug and fix upstream?

I fixed it in portage, thanks.
