Details

Updated ghostscript packages that fix several bugs are now available.

Ghostscript is a program for displaying PostScript files, or printing them
to non-PostScript printers.

These updated packages fix the following bugs:

* man pages for commands that are not included in the ghostscript packages
have been removed.

* the pxlmono driver for PCL/XL printers could cause some print jobs to
fail due to an incorrect data type. Instead of printing the requested
document, the following error is printed:

PCL XL error
Subsystem: KERNEL
Error: IllegalAttributeDataType
Operator: SetLineDash
Offset: NNNNNN

(Where "NNNNNN" is a random number).

All ghostscript users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which resolve these issues.
