gnu barcode package error

[Sidney Li]

Binary package hint: barcode

The gnu barcode (0.98) package in Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10 (and probably others) does not create a correct codabar barcode. To reproduce, run on the command line:

     barcode -o test.ps -b 123 -c -e cbr

The appeneded (default) check-digit is "A" instead of the correct "B" character. Binaries compiled from the debian package (barcode_0.98+debian-9.diff.gz applied to barcode_0.98+debia.org.tar.gz) produces the correct trailing "B" character.
