Package: gs-common
Version: 0.3.9
Severity: important

dvipdf generates pdf files which acrobat reader (acroread 7.0-0.9) is not
capable of displaying correctly. The files suffer from "A drawing error occured."
and the first page or more are then displayed as empty. Additionally, "Insufficient
data for an image" errors sometimes show up on other pages leading to some graphics
not being displayed. On the opposite, the files are correctly read by
xpdf (xpdf 3.01-2).

This is a major fault for supposedly portable documents...

Alas, we came too late.  Closing.

Thanks for reporting, and please feel free to reopen this or file a
new report if it ever happens again.
