The assert triggers because the PDF to be processed contains a /Rotation key which is not equal to 0, 90, 180 or 270.

Basically there are three possibilities:
1) The pdf uses a value not allowed by the pdf specification.
2) The value is close, but not exactly equal to one of the above rotation values
3) The value is not normalized to [0;360) but is e.g. -90.

So to fix this I have to know what value the offending PDF uses instead, maybe you can attach the file?

In general there should not be an assert getting triggered by a PDF file not conforming to the specs, but a way to gracefully error out.

Sure, there should not... and when compiled with -DNDEBUG it actually would not exit, but just assume 0.0 degrees rotation...
The assert basically was there, because this particular function only implemented the simple cases (taking care of nearly all pdfs in the wild) and was not touched since then...

I've updated bzr (revision 7046) to handle at least all multiples of 90 correctly (i.e. also negative ones) now and throw an exception when encountering a still unexpected value.

This may or may not fix pdftopdf for this particular pdf.
Either try the offending pdf with the current bazaar version of cups-filters (and watch out for 'Unexpected /Rotation value: ...' exceptions in the log), or I can check the pdf file (and make further changes to pdftopdf, if necessary).

This bug was fixed in the package cups-filters - 1.0.31-0ubuntu1

---------------
cups-filters (1.0.31-0ubuntu1) raring; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
     - cups-browsed: cups-browsed removed valid local queues pointing to
       remote queues when cups-browsed did not shut down cleanly after
       the previous session, leaving the user with missing local accessor
       queues for some of the remote CUPS queues.
     - pdftopdf: Improved error output.
     - pdftopdf: getRotation now handles unusual cases more graceful
       (LP: #1154318).
