2009-01-06 17:53:25 Dan description Binary package hint: ghostscript Some postscript files, such as those generated by the Windows PS driver output messages to stdout while executing. For example, the attached file, generated from a Word document, displays the following when ps2pdf is invoked on it: %%[ ProductName: GPL Ghostscript ]%% %%[Page: 1]%% %%[LastPage]%% When scripts such as ps2pdf are used with the output file set to "-" (i.e., stdout), these messages get included in the output file. Occasionally, this causes corruption of the output file. This is particularly problematic for the new PDF-based rendering path in CUPS. The attached debdiffs add the flag -sstdout=%stderr to invocations of gs to redirect these messages to stderr.

2009-01-10 22:13:22 Till Kamppeter ghostscript: assignee till-kamppeter
2009-01-10 22:13:22 Till Kamppeter ghostscript: statusexplanation Thanks for the patch. I have applied it directly to the upstream Subversion repository of Ghostscript at www.ghostscript.com, as the fix is of interest for all Ghostscript users, not only for Ubuntu users. Ghostscript 8.64 will be released Feb 1st, and then your fix will automatically go into Jaunty.
