Package: psutils
Version: 3.3.8-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/psselect

Steps

seq 1 1000 | a2ps -B -o - | psselect 2- | file -

Expected output (observed on bookworm):

[stdin (plain): 15 pages on 8 sheets]
[Total: 15 pages on 8 sheets] sent to the standard output
[2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] Wrote 7 pages, 26879 bytes
/dev/stdin: PostScript document text conforming DSC level 3.0

Actual output:

[Total: 15 pages on 8 sheets] sent to the standard output

psselect: `2-' is not a page range
/dev/stdin: empty

Comment:

I don't see how psselect's range feature could be expressed in terms
of pstops's specs.

This is a regression in the new psutils.
