Bug#596994: texlive-base: Sould suggest ghostscript-x instead of ghostscript.



Package: texlive-base
Version: 2009-10
Severity: normal

Hi,

with only ghostscript but no ghostscript-x installed, xdvi prints the
following error on startup.

$ xdvi
gs: Unknown device: x11
gs: Unrecoverable error: undefined in .uninstallpagedevice
gs: Operand stack:
gs:     defaultdevice
xdvik: read_from_gs: Connection reset by peer

Installing ghostscript-x fixes this problem. A similar issue caused
problems with kghostview a while back, see
http://bugs.debian.org/462678.

-- Package-specific info:
If you report an error when running one of the TeX-related binaries 
(latex, pdftex, metafont,...), or if the bug is related to bad or wrong
output, please include a MINIMAL example input file that produces the
error in your report. Don't forget to also include minimal examples of
other files that are needed, e.g. bibtex databases. Often it also helps
to include the logfile. Please, never send included pictures!

If your example file isn't short or produces more than one page of
output (except when multiple pages are needed to show the problem),
you can probably minimize it further. Instructions on how to do that
can be found at

http://www.latex-einfuehrung.de/mini-en.html (english)

or
