Package: gs-afpl
Version: 8.53-0.1
Severity: normal
The pdf file attached below does not view correctly. It is a
rectangle (200x100, in units of PostScript points) filled with green
and with a 0.5-point red border. The border should stick out 0.25
points beyond each edge of the rectangle and have rounded corners.
The left and bottom borders view fine, but the top and right borders
are invisible. xpdf (v3.01) also has problems (see Debian BTS
#355770). However, acroread 7.0.1 views it fine.
The exact gs command (using X.org 6.9.0, Linux i686, 2.6.16-rc5, IBM
Thinkpad 600X):
gs -r360 rect-1-unc.pdf
With the following command, the right and top red borders are visible:
gs -r72o rect-1-unc.pdf
Alternatively, rounding up the BBox and MediaBox dimensions to the next
whole point fixes the problem, so I suspect the absence of the top and
right borders is due to incorrect rounding in the clipping paths. To be
exact, if I apply this unified diff (0 lines of context) to the pdf file
attached, then all the borders view fine:

The rect-1-unc.pdf file below comes from this metapost file (rect.mp):
beginfig(1)
path p;
p := unitsquare scaled 100bp xscaled 2;
draw p withcolor red;
fill p withcolor green;
endfig;
end
The sequence of commands to make rect-1-unc.pdf:
mpost rect.mp [gives rect.1, a metapost EPS file]
mptopdf rect.1 [gives rect-1.pdf]
pdftk rect-1.pdf output rect-1-unc.pdf uncompress [gives rect-1-unc.pdf]

The gs-afpl binary package has been removed from Debian so we are closing
the bugs that were still opened against it.
For more information about this package's removal, read
http://ftp-master.debian.org/removals-full.txt . That bug might give the
reasons why
this package was removed, and suggestions of possible replacements.
Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.
Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
Kind regards,
