Package: ledgersmb
Found: 1.3.40-1
Found: 1.3.46-1
Severity: normal

LaTeX::driver has a bug that forces the use of xelatex to render all pdf or 
postscript source material. It also has a bug that causes data to be dumped to 
stdout. These cause the following issues

1. All installations will fail if xelatex packages are not installed

2. You can't generate postscript output, it always generates PDF output 
instead

3. You can't currently use TeX templates that are not valid XeLaTeX
Instead you get errors like "Package inputenc Error: inputenc is not designed 
for xetex or luatex"

4. You probably can't print to a printer on any system that requires 
postscript instead of PDF to be sent to lpr

To work around 1.

install system packages for xelatex

To work around 2.

Unfortunately no work around is available, you can't generate postscript 
output for the moment

To work around 3.

Unfortunately the only work around available it to
You can convert your templates to XeLaTeX.
Or patch /usr/share/perl5/LaTeX/Driver.pm line 78 to read
pdf => [ 'pdflatex' ]


It may be possible to use different printer drivers, or a different printer 
until LaTeX is fixed. Otherwise there is no workaround for now
