Package: gv
Version: 1:3.7.4-2+b1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch upstream

There's a typo in an error message in src/Ghostview.c:
"broken pope" instead of "broken pipe".

Patch attached.

The error message can be obtained with

$ ln -s /bin/false bin/gs
$ gv some_file.ps
Error: broken pope, errno 32

I haven't reported the bug upstream because these doesn't seem
to be any development any longer, even for bug fixes.
