Package: ghostscript Version: 9.06~dfsg-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, ps2pdf hangs for me with this postscript file when simply run as: $ ps2pdf test.ps no output is ever generated, except a file in /tmp that slowly grows in size (probably indefinitely), that I found by 'strace' of 'gs' process. $ gv test.ps shows file just fine. The ps2pdf actually runs: /usr/bin/gs -P- -dSAFER -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -q -P- -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sstdout=%stderr -sOutputFile=test.pdf -P- -dSAFER -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -c .setpdfwrite -f test.ps that hangs when run manually as well. Changing -sDEVICE to =X11 instead of =pdfwrite and removing -dNOPAUSE displays the output on the screen just fine. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-686-pae (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages ghostscript depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.56 ii gsfonts 1:8.11+urwcyr1.0.7~pre44-4.2 ii libc6 2.19-18 ii libgs9 9.06~dfsg-2 ghostscript recommends no packages.
