ghostscript bug fix update

Advisory:	RHBA-2010:0646-1
Type:	Bug Fix Advisory
Severity:	N/A
Issued on:	2010-08-24
Last updated on:	2010-08-24
Affected Products:	RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client)

Details

Updated ghostscript packages that fix various bugs and add an enhancement are
now available.

The Ghostscript suite provides a PostScript(TM) interpreter, a set of C
procedures (the Ghostscript library, which implements the graphics capabilities
in the PostScript language), and an interpreter for PDF files. Ghostscript
translates PostScript code into many common, bitmapped formats, like those
understood by most printers and displays. This enables users to display
PostScript files and print them on non-PostScript printers.

This update fixes the following bug:

* due to the incorrect page size handling, converting a PDF file to PostScript
may have caused the correct page size information to be lost. As a result, the
printed output may have been misplaced or partially visible only. With this
update, the conversion from PDF to PostScript works as expected. (BZ#592962)

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

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
