GhostScript Update causes
Hi everyone,
I would like to re-introduce the fix for bug 1815339 in the gostscript
package now that upstream has fixed the blue page regression.
Unfortunately, I don't know how to test if the issue will come back, as
none of my printers were printing a blue page after the original update.
This bug has been quite a roller coaster ride. I learnt a lot. Thanks
for the adventure and for the quick fix. *ajo*
