[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

Can you switch to the GPL Ghostscript with merged ESP Ghostscript functionality as described here:

http://www.linuxprinting.org/download/printing/esp-gpl-ghostscript-merge/README

Does this solve your problem?

[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

Can you try with the new gs-gpl packages?

Download all packages from

http://www.linux-foundation.org/~till/tmp/ubuntu/gutsy/gs-gpl/binary/

and do

sudo dpkg -i *gs-esp*.deb *gs-gpl*.deb

to replace your ESP Ghostscript by the new GPL Ghostscript.

[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

Due to change of Artifex' license policy to do the head development of Ghostscript under GPL and the merger of the extra functionality of ESP Ghostscript (ESP Ghostscript is discontinued now), the packages gs-esp and gs-afpl got obsolete. They are both replaced by gs-gpl, version 8.60 or newer. I have already done a first test package:

For Gutsy download all packages from

http://www.linux-foundation.org/~till/tmp/ubuntu/gutsy/gs-gpl/binary/

and do

sudo dpkg -i *gs-esp*.deb *gs-afpl*.deb *gs-gpl*.deb

to replace your ESP and AFPL Ghostscript by the new merged GPL Ghostscript.

If you are running Feisty or older download the files from

http://www.openprinting.org/download/printing/esp-gpl-ghostscript-merge/

into the same directory. Then do

sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get build-dep gs-esp gs-gpl
dpkg-source -x gs-gpl_8.60.dfsg.1-0ubuntu1.dsc
cd gs-gpl-8.60.dfsg.1
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i *gs-esp*.deb *gs-afpl*.deb *gs-gpl*.deb

Answer every question which appears with "y", so that all needed packages get installed.

Or try the distribution-independent binary package from

http://www.openprinting.org/download/printing/esp-gpl-ghostscript-merge/README

The new grand unified GPL Ghostscript will make it into Ubuntu soon, after

- Agreeing on the name with Debian: "gs-gpl" or simply "gs"
- Adding the C header files to libgs-gpl-dev
- Fixing upstream bug 689237: http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=689237

Please tell us your results with the test packages.

[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

I have uploaded new test packages (after working out a common concept with Debian's Ghostscript maintainer):

For Gutsy download all packages from

http://www.linux-foundation.org/~till/tmp/ubuntu/gutsy/ghostscript/binary/

and do

sudo dpkg -i *gs-esp*.deb *gs-afpl*.deb *gs-gpl*.deb *libgs*.deb *ghostscript*.deb

to replace your ESP and/or AFPL Ghostscript by the new merged GPL Ghostscript.

If you are running Feisty or older download the files from

http://www.linux-foundation.org/~till/tmp/ubuntu/gutsy/ghostscript/

into the same directory. Then do

sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get build-dep gs-esp gs-gpl
dpkg-source -x ghostscript_8.60.dfsg.1-0ubuntu1.dsc
cd ghostscript-8.60.dfsg.1
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i *gs-esp*.deb *gs-afpl*.deb *gs-gpl*.deb *libgs*.deb *ghostscript*.deb

Answer every question which appears with "y", so that all needed packages get installed.

Please tell us your results with the test packages.

[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

I can reproduce it with the new ghostscript package for Gutsy. Probably the well-known KRGB patch issue.
