Hi,

I had some email problems (our University is upgrading their entire  
email infrastructure this weekend) but sent some more thoughts off- 
list to Alexander. Here is what I'd suggest:

If I add the configure flag "--without-jasper" in ghostscript.info,  
there is no build conflict with libjasper1. I tried to find out  
specifically what would be different if I give either no configure  
flags or specify the flag "--with-jasper" (as suggested by configure  
--help); but I can't find any added jpeg capabilities that this  
provides, compared to what ghostscript 8.51 already offers based on  
libjpeg (on which it BuildDepends).

So I think the best fix is to submit a new ghostscript.info file  
which has the configure flag --without-jasper and then no longer  
needs a BuildConflict entry.

Jens
