After installing the latest update of this package, I receive an error message:

# gs -sOutputFile=obfuscated.pdf -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH dissertation.pdf

sfopen: gs_parse_file_name failed.

Probably related to http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=692309

[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

Most probably it is upstream bug http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=692309, as Johannes alreadyb tells, it can also be that perhaps http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=691408#c43 appeared again.

Can you tell which Ubuntu and Ghostscript versions you are using and also attach the file(s) with which you experienced the problem? Thanks.

Using Ubunto Oneiric, ghostscript package from yesterday (9.04~dfsg~20110715-0ubuntu1). Until this upgrade the problem did not exist with this file. it is over over 100 MB though. I'll try to find a smaller file that has the same issue.

[Johannes Wilm (johanneswilm)]

It happens with the eps file posted here: http://bugs.ghostscript.com/attachment.cgi?id=7617

Is that good enough or is an alternative problem case file needed?

launch leaflet from http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=691408#c43 the other error report does not produce errors when running:

gs -sOutputFile=obfuscated.pdf -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH /home/johannes/Downloads/launch_leaflet.pdf

[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

Johannes, I get the exact same results. The file from comment #5 crashes and launch_leaflet.pdf works.

Uploaded ghostscript_9.04~dfsg~20110729-0ubuntu1 (9.04 RC1) which fixes the problem:

ghostscript (9.04~dfsg~20110729-0ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
     - GIT snapshot from July, 21 2011 (Release Candidate 1)
     - Fix of a segfault when rendering a PDF file (Upstream bug #692368).
     - Fix of pstopxl CUPS filter to make grayscale printing on color
       printers working.
     - The pxlmono/pxlcolor drivers produced huge output files in Ghostscript
       9.0x (Upstream bug 692329).
  * debian/rules: Added new "--with-install-cups" option to the ./configure
    command line.
  * debian/rules: The scripts pv.sh and fixmswrd.pl are not shipped upstream
    any more, so we do not need to delete them any more.
  * debian/patches/fix-cups-raster-rgbw-output-of-files-with-transparency.patch:
    PDF files came out as garbage when printing on color inkjet printers from
    HP. This was due to the CUPS Raster output being messed up when the input
    file is a PDF with transparency and the output color space is RGBW.
