tag 428055 + patch
thanks
The segfaults during startup on ia64 are due to a bug in Debian-specific
patch 06_libpaper_support.dpatch: Due to a missing declaration, the
pointer returned by libpaper's systempapername() in
imainarg.c::gs_main_init_with_args() gets truncated, and gs segfaults a
few lines later when trying to dereference it. This bug should occur on
each 64bit platform, but apparently it's only fatal on ia64. It's easily
fixed with an #include of paper.h. I'm attaching an updated
06_libpaper_support.dpatch. (Incidentially, I've also prepared and
tested updated packages. So far, they're only used locally, but if you
want to save yourself a bit of work, just drop me a note and I can
upload them as an NMU with no extra effort.)
Regards,
Daniel.
