ghostcript does not provide ijs support

[Stew Benedict]

Binary package hint: ghostscript

Seeing a failure in the LSB printing tests. Per the LSB specification, ghostscript is to provide support for cups (CUPS Raster), ijs, pxlmono, pxlcolor, and opvp (OpenPrinting Vector).

ijs support appears to be missing in the current build, as it does not show up in gs --help output nor in the commands used by the test:

GS=/usr/bin/gs
ALLDRIVERS=`echo 'devicenames ==' | $GS -dBATCH -sDEVICE=bbox -q - | sed
's|/||g;s|\[||g;s|\]||g'`
echo $ALLDRIVERS | grep -q $1 2>out.stderr ($1 is "ijs" in this iteration)

This bug was fixed in the package ghostscript - 9.01~dfsg~svn12047-0ubuntu1

---------------
ghostscript (9.01~dfsg~svn12047-0ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
     o SVN snapshot rev. 12047
    Taken back the ijs subdirectory into the repackaged source tarball as
    Ghostscript's build system does not support using an external, shared
    libijs (LP: #704913, LP: #704157).
    Removed the newly added ./cups/libs/ directory in the repackaging as
    we use the CUPS libraries of the cups package.
  * debian/rules: Removed ijs subdirectory from upstream source repackaging
    check and added cups/libs/ subdirectory.
  * debian/rules: Override a bug that if dynamically loadable X11 drivers are
    uses ("./configure --enable-dynamic") that in the core Ghostscript library
    the X11 drivers are also built in. This bug got most probably introduced
    with SVN rev. 12025.
  * debian/symbols.common: Updated for new upstream source. Applied patch
    which dpkg-gensymbols generated for debian/libgs9.symbols to this file.
