Bug#932897: libgs9-common: Require fonts-urw-base35 and get rid of font duplication that way



Hi Julian,

Quoting Julian Wollrath (2019-07-24 09:55:14)
> libgs9-common provides the base 35 fonts in
> /usr/share/ghostscript/9.27/Resource/Font/ while these fonts are also
> packaged in fonts-urw-base-35. So it would make sense to depend on
> fonts-urw-base35 instead and replace the fonts in
> /usr/share/ghostscript/9.27/Resource/Font/ with symlinks to the fonts
> from fonts-urw-base35, e.g.: replace
> /usr/share/ghostscript/9.27/Resource/Font/C059-BdIta by a link
> to /usr/share/fonts/type1/urw-base35/C059-BdIta.t1

Thaks for the reminder: This issue is already tracked as ancient 
bug#613912 but I appreciate your bringing it up again (and no problem 
that you missed that earlier bugreport).

Looking into fixing this now, while waiting for my laundry to finish 
here at Debconf in Critiba, Brazil... :-)
