Bug#1913: gs depends on *both* svgalib and xlibraries



Package: gs
Version: 2.6.1pl4-5

The DEPENDS requires both svgalib *and* xlibraries?  I'm no expert on dpkg
DEPENDS syntax, but dpkg did require that I install svgalib even though I
had the xlibraries.  I think a comma denotes a conjunction.  I cannot now
remove svgalib because of gs's dependency.

 DESCRIPTION: Postscript interpreter with X11 and svgalib preview support.
  Ghostscript is used for postscript preview and printing.  Usually as
  a back-end to a program such as ghostview, it can display postscript
  documents in an X11 environment.  It can also use the Linux svga
  library to display documents graphically on the Linux console.
  .
  Furthermore, it can render postscript files as graphics to be printed
  on non-postscript printers.  Supported printers include common
  dot-matrix, inkjet and laser models.
