Indeed, it fixed the issue for me too.

Thanks,

lpr a.ps does not work either (pdftops error).

Downgrading ghostscript and libgs8 to testing version (8.64~dfsg-1.1)
fixes the problem.

Thanks for your bugreport.

I made an embarrasing error in -6 release. This was fixed today in -7 expected to arrive in unstable in less than 12 hours.

This bug is believed to be a dubplicate of 532392, thus force-merging.


The releases newer than -1.1 contain many many improvements. If you are eager to use them (or are even hit by some of the bugs fixed by them), I have unofficial packages available by adding the following to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://debian.jones.dk/ sid ghostscript


...there's also a similar one for Lenny, if you want the improved Ghostscript in an otherwise stable environment.

...and to get ahead of you: No, I do not use backports.debian.org, as that concept is too simple for my taste (no support for chains of backported build-dependencies).


Kind regards,

 - Jonas
