Anyone?  I'm guessing that an update to a library broke something...

Subject: "enscript" no longer working

MacPorts 2.8.0 on High Sierra.

Has anyone else found that "enscript" has stopped working after some 
software update or other?  The symptom is that nothing is being printed, 
although I can redirect the output to a file and print that instead so 
it's obviously generating the correct PS output.

The installed version of "enscript" is 1.6.6, and reinstalling it makes no 
difference; when I specify a dummy script in place of "lpr" it gets 
invoked as it should, so the spawning mechanism seems to be OK.

Because it's a bit inconvenient to disable SIP right now I cannot trace 
the thing to see exactly what's broken, so has anyone else noticed this 
and can track it to a particular MP update?

Thanks.
