Bug#990380: texlive-binaries: pstricks \rput item placement incorrect (xdvipdfmx?)



Thanks for looking at this!

I can confirm that everything seems to be OK in the latest testing versions, so things look fine going forward.

As for Debian bullseye/stable (which I think is out of scope by now, but others finding this bug may want some info), back-porting ghostscript 9.55.0 to bullseye doesn't help. The easiest fix I've found for bullseye is pinning/forcing ghostscript to the latest buster binary (9.27~dfsg-2+deb10u5 at the time of this writing).

Thanks for following up and I'm glad it will all work well in bookworm!
