Package: ocrmypdf
Version: 4.3.5-2
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream
Justification: renders package unusable

With Ghostscript 9.20 -- the version in stretch & sid at the time of
writing -- OCRmyPDF exits with errors like these:

    GPL Ghostscript 9.20: ERROR: VMerror (-25) on closing pdfwrite device.

This is fixed by upstream commit e71e8ca3, which is a workaround for a
bug in Ghostscript.[1] I do not believe that bug is RC for Ghostscript,
but it is RC for OCRmyPDF, so I'm reporting this Debian bug against
ocrmypdf.  The fix is to backport commit e71e8ca3 to OCRmyPDF version
4.3.5, which I hope to be able to do soon.
