Hi,
Today I wanted to view a manual page with a PDF viewer:
$ man -t ls >/tmp/ls.ps
$ ps2pdf /tmp/ls.ps
$ run-mailcap /tmp/ls.pdf
Error: no such file "/tmp/ls.pdf"
My mistake --- the output actually went to ./ls.pdf. But could this
be clarified in the manpage? Patch at the URL above.
Incidentally, the manpage in German seems to be slightly out of date.
It does not contain the paragraph about the output filename, nor the
pointer to look at the HTML documentation for information about PDF/X
and PDF/A documents.
Thanks for keeping Debian's ghostscript package in good shape, and
hope that helps.
Regards,
Jonathan

Fixed by ghostscript-9.04rc1~81 (Bug 692322: Clarify in ps2pdf manpage
that output goes to cwd by default, 2011-07-08).

This part's still not fixed, but since I don't speak German, I'm not
going to pursue it.
Cheers,
Jonathan
