All of the following are therefore equivalent: sed -i '' -e 's!Cellar/a2ps/4.14!opt/a2ps!g' /opt/homebrew/etc/a2ps*
sed -i '' -e 's@Cellar/a2ps/4.14@opt/a2ps@g' /opt/homebrew/etc/a2ps*
sed -i '' -e 's%Cellar/a2ps/4.14%opt/a2ps%g' /opt/homebrew/etc/a2ps*
Not quite, you mangled the replacement string: sed -i '' -e 's#Cellar/a2ps/4.15.6#opt/a2ps#g' /opt/homebrew/etc/a2ps* |

a2ps works again, many thanks!! Is there anything I should do differently in the future (in updating brew)? |

Nope, I've already fixed it going forward in Homebrew/homebrew-core#132061. |

I've used brew last week to install tools on a new system, but a2ps fails here with the same symptom: My configuration: I have uninstalled a2ps, deleted its config files, and reinstalled, without fixing the problem. $ which a2ps The .ppd files are present: LibraryPath seems to be correct -- it includes that directory: Any suggestions? |

Unfortunately it still fails.
On Linux, I would use strace to see where a2ps is looking for the file.
This is apparently very hard to do on a Mac, as described by James Risner
here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73724074/how-to-call-an-equivalent-command-to-strace-on-mac-ideally-from-python
However, he has a good suggestion:
Rewrite the code to not use strace on either Linux or macOS and build a
framework to get the information you need during the build directly.
Since you have the source code, you can find where it’s trying to open that
file, and print out the list of places it’s looking. Or, better yet, where
it’s looking to get the path to search.
Actually, “a2ps –list=defaults” ought to print this, and it does under
Linux. I think the fact that it doesn’t on a Mac is a bug:
*$ *a2ps --list defaults
a2ps: cannot find file `level1.ppd': No such file or directory
*$ *a2ps --list=defaults
a2ps: cannot find file `level1.ppd': No such file or directory
*$ *a2ps --list=ppd
a2ps: cannot find file `level1.ppd': No such file or directory
However, this works on a Linux installation where it can find the file. I
haven't tried hiding the file first.
This should be easy to fix: handle the “—list” option before looking for
.ppd files.
Here’s the log of the re-installation, FWIW:

There's your problem: your entire
LibraryPathpoints to an older version. Probably a good idea to "opt-imize" the paths in your config, like this:then try using
a2psagain.
