Package: pstotext
Version: 1.9-6
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream

Hi,

This "makes the package in question unusable by most or all users",
hence the severity.

pstotext appears to have been broken by ghostscript 9.22. This is me
attempting to convert an empty input.

 *** WARNING - the DELAYBIND command has been deprecated, and will be
               removed in the next version. For now you can restore
               the behaviour by using -dREALLYDEALYBIND but if you
               require continued use of this command you should contact
               the Ghostscript developers. Commercial customers of

Unrecoverable error: undefined in DELAYBIND

I tried a patch to add -dREALLYDELAYBIND to the gs commandline, but then
it fails with "Error: /undefined in NOBIND".

Cheers,
