Bug Description
Ghostscript 9.07 which was released this week uses LCMS2 and does not work with the stocl LCMS2 as it comes with Ubuntu. It needs multi-threading fixes in LCMS2.
The Ghostscript developers have created patches and applied them to the LCMS2 copy which comes with Ghostscript and also made them available to the upstream LCMS2 project:
https:/
The patches are not yet included by upstream.
To update Ghostscript to 9.07 in Raring I would like to have the patches applied to Raring's package of LCMS2.
The patches, relative to the upstream GIT trunk are attached.

The Ghostscript developers did also some optimizations of LCMS2 for Ghostscript. These optimizations were also made available for upstream, see:
https:/ /github. com/robinwatts/ Little- CMS/commits/ artifex
The attached patch contains the fixes from above and the optimizations. So you can choose whether you apply only the fixes (first patch) or the fixes and the optimizations (this patch) to the Ubuntu package of LCMS2.
