Package: ghostscript Version: 8.71~dfsg2-9 Severity: normal The behavior of the -dSAFER flag has changed between versions of Ghostscript in Lenny and Squeeze. It now prevents -sOutputFile from working if the input is taken interactively or from a pipe. For example:
user@host:path$ gs -q -dSAFER -dSAFINTERPOLATE -dTextAlphaBits=4 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 -sDEVICE=ppmraw -r144 -sOutputFile=foo.ppm GS>(foo.ps) run Error: /invalidfileaccess in --run-- Operand stack: (foo.ps) (r) ... This is annoying for those of us who use pipes in scripts to generate graphics, say for web applications. Google did not show any obvious accounts of this. At the very least, it should be documented in a changelog. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages ghostscript depends on: ii debconf [de 1.5.36.1 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 3.4 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii gsfonts 1:8.11+urwcyr1.0.7~pre44-4.2 Fonts for the Ghostscript interpre ii libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libgs8 8.71~dfsg2-9 The Ghostscript PostScript/PDF int ghostscript recommends no packages. ghostscript suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
