Hello,

Since bookworm, cups-filter does not automatically find the proper
liblouis braille tables, ending up with messages such as:

"Could not find LibLouis table with locale de_DE"

This is because liblouis changed their table format in version 3.21. The
attached patch was forwarded to upstream to accomodate for this.

Could this also be backported to bookworm? Otherwise people cannot
easily emboss documents on braille printers with bookworm.

Hi

The issue is still present in Trixie. Has upstream not yet applied the patch
or downstream not yet the latest version?

Thanks
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

upstream did not yet add this patch to a cups-filters 1.x release, which
would work together with cups 2.x.
Maybe the patch is in a cups-filters 2.x release, which is needed for
cups 3.x
