Package: libgs9-common Version: 9.01~dfsg-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch User: ubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com Usertags: origin-ubuntu ubuntu-patch natty
ghostscript (9.00~dfsg-3) experimental; urgency=low [...] + Have libgs9-common break and replace older ghostscript. Closes: bug#485621, thanks to Tom Parker and others. But libgs9-common doesn't actually break and replace older ghostscript, and according to git it never did. This would have broken Ubuntu natty upgrades except that I noticed it when reviewing the package in binary NEW and fixed it. Could you apply this patch? I know the version is a bit newer than strictly accurate in Debian, but we had a version 9.01~dfsg-0ubuntu1 in Ubuntu which was based off older Debian packaging. The version I selected should be safe for both distributions. * Really break and replace older ghostscript in libgs9-common. diff -Nru ghostscript-9.01~dfsg/debian/control ghostscript-9.01~dfsg/debian/control --- ghostscript-9.01~dfsg/debian/control 2011-02-12 16:25:49.000000000 +0000 +++ ghostscript-9.01~dfsg/debian/control 2011-02-23 02:43:14.000000000 +0000 @@ -145,6 +145,8 @@ Section: libs Architecture: all Depends: ${misc:Depends} +Breaks: ghostscript (<< 9.01~dfsg-1) +Replaces: ghostscript (<< 9.01~dfsg-1) Description: interpreter for the PostScript language and for PDF - common files GPL Ghostscript is used for PostScript/PDF preview and printing.
