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.
