I assume this guy will be handling it: Package: gs-aladdin Priority: optional Section: non-free/text Installed-Size: 4506 Maintainer: Torsten Landschoff <torsten@debian.org> Architecture: i386 Version: 5.50-8 Replaces: gs Provides: gs, postscript-viewer Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1.2), libpaperg (>= 1.0.3-4), libpng2, libz1, svgalibg1 | svgalib-dummyg1, xlib6g (>= 3.3.5) Recommends: gsfonts (>= 4.01-3) Suggests: gs-pdfencrypt Conflicts: gs, gs_x, gs_svga, gs_both Filename: dists/unstable/non-free/binary-i386/text/gs-aladdin_5.50-8.deb Size: 1493188 MD5sum: a207b9015ed99410c7bd97ba1b262809 Description: Postscript interpreter with X11 and svgalib preview support. This version is Aladdin copyright, not GNU copyleft, see /usr/doc/gs-aladdin/copyright. . 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. . Package gsfonts contains a set of standard fonts for ghostscript. . You have to install the gs-pdfencrypt package to be able to preview encrypted pdf files. That package is in the nonus distribution due to the stupid US regulations about exporting cryptographic software (please look under ftp://nonus.debian.org/pub/debian-non-US to find it). . The Ghostscript World Wide Web home page is at http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/index.html . This package also contains the hpdj driver contributed by Martin Lottermoser. GS 5.50 needs to get into main for potato. -- G.
