Hello all: This is a warning advice. If you need a functional ghostcript, the easiest workaround is downgrade to gs-gpl or gs-esp. These are supposed to provide ghostscript and also the gs symbolic link.
But things are not like this, for me downgrading didn't create the gs link and I went mad for a almost a whole day looking why any of my configured and tested printers didn't want to print. The exact problem is that the postinst script line: update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gs gs /usr/bin/gs-gpl 20 --slave /usr/share/man/man1/gs.1.gz gs.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/gs-gpl.1.gz does not regenerate the symbolink link due to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=100135 The solution is recreating the link manually: ln -s /etc/alternatives/gs /usr/bin/gs Regards, -- Raúl Sánchez Siles
