Not so: $ dpkg -L groff | grep download /usr/share/groff/1.22.4/font/devpdf/download > > Now i feel this is worth filing 2 bugs on the debian tracker: > ... > > * troff should use the current version of ghostscript > > I'd guess so. > > Debian's groff maintainer, Colin Watson, is a subscriber here, and may > pipe up soon. Apparently the current ghostscript version at build time gets built into /usr/share/groff/1.22.4/font/devpdf/download by way of groff's build process. I hadn't noticed that before. Do please file a Debian bug report. For stable update purposes, a simple rebuild will suffice. For ongoing purposes, we may want to look at figuring out how to avoid encoding the version in font/devpdf/download. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@debian.org]
