Bug Description

Binary package hint: ghostscript

To treat Japanese font in ghostscript, gs-cjk-resource and cmap-adobe-japan1 packages must be installed, but current ghostscript does not find cmap files which are offered from these packages.

This is because a /var/lib/defoma/gs.d/dirs/CMap directory are not searched by ghostscript. If use cmap files, make a symbolic link to the directory by the name of /usr/share/ghostscript/8.61/Resource/CMap. Please make its symbolic link file, when ghostscript is installed.

By the way, there are similar files linking to a /var/lib/defoma/gs.d/dirs/CMap directory in /usr/share/ghostscript/CMap and /usr/share/ghostscript/8.60/Resource/CMap.

Version: 8.61.dfsg.1~svn8187-0ubuntu1
Need other packages: gs-cjk-resource, cmap-adobe-japan1

  * debian/patches/06_libpaper_support.dpatch: Added missing
    "#include <paper.h>", this made Ghostscript not working at all
    on IA64 (Fixes LP: #130842, thanks to Ralph Giles from ghostscript.com
    for the fix and to Matthias Klose for the IA64 test machine).
  * debian/ghostscript.links: Bumped version number in link for CJK fonts
    (Fixes LP: #139911).
