Description Ernst Bachmann 2007-03-09 14:29:23 UTC

cupstestppd seems to incorrectly take the Locale settings into account when reading a ppd file, trying to use the decimal separator when parsing the version nr.
(Version in PPD File is "4.3", with LANG="de_DE.UTF-8", cupstestppd parses it as "4.0")
My guess is that it tires to use ',' as seperator, as defined in the german locale.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
> cupstestppd EPSONPhoto.ppd
> LANG=C cupstestppd EPSONPhoto.ppd
Actual Results:  
> cupstestppd EPSONPhoto.ppd
EPSONPhoto.ppd: BESTANDEN
        WARNUNG    Obsolete PPD Version 4,0!
                REF: Seite 42, Kapitel 5.2.
> LANG=C cupstestppd EPSONPhoto.ppd
EPSONPhoto.ppd: PASS


Expected Results:  
> cupstestppd EPSONPhoto.ppd
EPSONPhoto.ppd: BESTANDEN
> LANG=C cupstestppd EPSONPhoto.ppd
EPSONPhoto.ppd: PASS


Probably an upstream bug.
