flpsed doesn't work (either crashes or shows a blank page) in gutsy

[Michael R. Head]

Binary package hint: flpsed

I just found out about flpsed today, so I installed the gutsy package:

burner@phoenix:~/Desktop$ rm testpage.ps
burner@phoenix:~/Desktop$ cp /usr/share/hplip/data/ps/testpage.ps.gz .
burner@phoenix:~/Desktop$ gunzip testpage.ps.gz
burner@phoenix:~/Desktop$ flpsed testpage.ps
exec: No such file or directory
Please install ghostscript and make sure 'gs' is in the PATH.

But I have gs in my path:
burner@phoenix:~/Desktop$ gs -v

I'm attaching a screenshot of what shows in the display (nothing) and what evince displays when I open the same file.

thanks for reporting this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

I can confirm this bug, I'll take a look at it now.

OK, I've found a duplicate of this bug. The problem is that it is calling gs-esp and not gs.

The command
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gs /usr/bin/gs-esp

Will make it work for now.
It will be fixed for Hardy.
