Since alternatives are intended to be changed by an administrator, it is a bug if some filters call "gs" when they need "gs-esp". So if these filters are fixed, as they should be anyway, then we can change the priorities and everyone will be happy. :-) Adrian Bunk wrote: > Installing CUPS effectively makes gs-gpl and gs-afpl useless. This is really a serious problem. I was quite surprised to discover that I was using gs-esp when calling gv (cf bug 323867), since I had never intentionally installed it.
