Package: ghostscript-x Version: 8.64~dfsg-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Hello,
This is related to
#511824 ghostscript-x: dependency on ghostscript does not ensure it works
which was closed by different means.
It would probably be better if ghostscript-x had a versioned
dependency on ghostscript as in the enclosed patch to the
debian/control file. This will ensure that the bug does not recur.
A user reported that running ghostscript-x version 8.64~dfsg-1
with ghostscript version 8.63.dfsg.1-2 caused problems.
Regards,
Kapil.
