Thanks! :-)There is no libgs8-common in this scenario, right?Correct
Ohh - I see it now. Again: silly me! Thanks for spotting. :-)
One more detail: who owns /var/lib/ghostscript and /etc/ghostscript? Do they gain versioned subdirectories or could there be an unversioned libgs-common package?Both those are empty as packaged, and populated at install time or by postinst script and potentially adapted by the user (i.e. the local sysadmin).
I notice now that there's a symlink from /usr/share/ghostscript/8.71/Resource/CMap to /var/lib/ghostscript/CMap which needs to move package as well. Shouldn't cause any other trouble, just mentioning for competeness sake.
