Christian, "device" has a special meaning to ghostscript. In this case, it's probably referring to output device.
ps2pdf is just a wrapper around ghostscript which invokes it with a "pdfwrite" output device. If the "pdfwrite" device is then unable to open the requested file, it indicates this by sending an error back up to ghostscript. So, pdfwrite sees the "could not open file" error, and ghostscript sees a "unable to open [pdfwrite] device error." -- ps2pdf fails if there is no write permission to the current working directory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/26098 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
