Comment 37 for bug 310575

I have packaged Ghostscript 8.64 (development snapshot of two weeks before release) for Jaunty now. Please test either on a Jaunty box or by starting a live CD/USB stick and then load the updates to get the new Ghostscript. Or install the packages on Intrepid. THen download them by going here:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/ghostscript/8.64.dfsg.1~svn9377-0ubuntu1

choose your system architecture in the list on the right and after that follow the links to each binary package (on the right). You will at least need libgs8, ghostscript, and ghostscript-x. Install the packages with "sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite --force-depends --force-conflicts <package name> ...".

Does printing of multiple-page-size files like combined.pdf work now (using the Ghostscript-based pdftops filter)?

To make your system consistent again after the test (if you have installed Jaunty's Ghostscript on Intrepid with "sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite --force-depends --force-conflicts <package name> ..."), do

sudo dpkg -r --force-depends ghostscript ghostscript-x libgs8
sudo apt-get install --reinstall cups
sudo apt-get install ghostscript ghostscript-x libgs8
