Re: What advantage; gs-aladdin vs. gs?
The README.gz file in /usr/doc/gs has a 1996 copyright, so that sounds
about right.
To get around dselect not handling versioned provides with
magicfilter/gs-aladdin, I downgraded from gs-aladdin to gs. The hpdj
driver in gs gives errors (however dj500 seems to work fine). I don't
know if this is really a gs 5.10 problem or just a fluke with that driver.
