Hi,

 Thank you for the info.

 I have a file gs_init.ps.  It's in
 /usr/share/ghostscript/8.62/lib/gs_init.ps and is provided by
 ghostscript.  I saw that 8.56 has it too:
 /usr/share/gs-gpl/8.56/lib/gs_init.ps

 However, the new evince depends on libspectre1, which depends on libgs8.
  It seems that it must depend on ghostscript too.  Can you upgrade it
 please?

 I have:
 ii  ghostscript     8.62.dfsg.1-2   The GPL Ghostscript PostScript/PDF
 interpreter

Hi Eugen!

Thanks for your time and effort!

I've installed "ghostscript" package, and both problems gone. Evince
does not crash with new Ghostscript, and printing seems to work fine.

But as I have said, sticking to new Ghostscript is not an option for
me. For example, on the very document we are debugging, some pages
(namely pages 1, 7) are rendered incorrectly. on my system. With older
"gs-gpl" package it works fine. There some other issues too (see for
example http://bugs.debian.org/469560). I have reverted back to
"gs-gpl" package.

By the way, I actually do have gs_init.ps file, but it is in
/usr/share/gs-gpl/8.56/lib/. I don't know if I should submit a bug
against experimental package (regarding crash). I hope stable version
of Evince 2.22 will work nicely with "gs-gpl". If submitting a bug
against current experimental "evince" will help, I will do so.

Regarding print preview bug, could you uninstall "ghostscript",
install "gs-gpl" and test it in such a setup?

Hi,

Ok, so point 1 is fixed too (with newest versions). I think it's not useful to spend time to fix bugs with old versions. Better fix the new versions!

I imagine that ghostscript will fix the bug later. I propose you to report a bug 2 months later (for ex.), when regression bugs in ghostscript are fixed.

So it remains point 3.  I am working on point 5, my point.
