Bug#942055: ghostscript in buster partly broken on armel?

[Alexander Reichle-Schmehl <tolimar@debian.org>]

reassign 942055 ghostscript
severity 942055 important

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
     I upgraded my server running on armel from stretch to buster. Since
     then I was unable to print pictures via my cups server installed on
     the armel system.
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
   * What was the outcome of this action?
     ineffective)?
     Printing the cups test page results in just the test being printed,
     not the images. Same for other documents.
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
     Testpage should print with images :)

*** End of the template - remove these template lines ***

After the upgrade from stretch to buster, I noticed that I can't images
anymore. When printing pages with images, the part of the page is
usually left empty.  Same problem with text containing special
characters.

Installing cups on my amd64 notebook, I can print without problems
anymore, so it doesn't seem to be a general problem.

Downgrading the ghostscript pagages to the version in Debian 9 solved my
issues.


Please feel free to contact me for futher tests or debugg output.  I
grant that this issue might not be easy to reproduce ;)


Best regards,
  Alexander
