Re: Need to update GhostScript package in the Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) Repository
Hi, I have discussed this problem with the upstream developers of Ghostscript at Artifex and the problem is NOT fixed by the official 8.61 release of Ghostscript. It appeared as fixed as the problem occurs only with Ghostscript built as dynamic library (the case for Gutsy) and not for a static build (the case for a standard ./configure; make; sudo make install as users did with the official Ghostscript (which is not available as Gutsy package). The Artifex developers are working on a solution and I hope that I can soon post it as a Stable Release Update for Gutsy.

We have tested and found that the problem does not occur with the release version of GhostScript version 8.61 available at http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/GPL/gpl861.htm. What we would therefore request is to update the Ubuntu 7.10 repositories to include this release version instead of the pre-release version. I don’t know if this is the correct forum for this topic. Please let me know if I need to contact someone else who looks at the package uploading for Ubuntu.
