Type: Bug Fix Advisory
Severity: N/A
Issued on: 2008-06-12

Details

Updated ghostscript packages that resolve an issue are now available.

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

These updated ghostscript packages fix a bug with directory permissions
which in some cases caused the print spooler to fail to render jobs for
printers not capable of processing PostScript. The ghostscript package now
owns the /usr/share/ghostscript/8.15/lib/cjkv directory, thus ensuring it
has the correct permissions and that the print spooler is able to print.

All users of ghostscript are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which resolve this issue.
