Package: gv Version: 1:3.7.1-1 Severity: normal When gs outputs an error message, it is not visible, probably due to an incorrect work area in the "Ghostscript Messages" window, or something like that.
For instance, try with gs as a script early in your $PATH: #!/bin/sh echo "Fail!" >&2 exit 1 I've attached a snapshot of the "Ghostscript Messages" window: it is empty! When I click on its scroll bar, the message appears. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gv depends on: ii dpkg 1.15.8.5 Debian package management system ii ghostscript-x 8.71~dfsg2-6local1 The GPL Ghostscript PostScript/PDF ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-5 Manage installed documentation in ii libc6 2.11.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libx11-6 2:1.3.3-3 X11 client-side library ii libxinerama1 2:1.1-3 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxmu6 2:1.0.5-2 X11 miscellaneous utility library ii libxt6 1:1.0.7-1 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii xaw3dg 1.5+E-18 Xaw3d widget set Versions of packages gv recommends: ii xaw3dg 1.5+E-18 Xaw3d widget set gv suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
