Package: ghostscript
Version: 9.53.3~dfsg-7+deb11u2
Severity: normal

Ghostscript fails to convert PBM files to PDF. Attempts were made with
3 different PBM files:
1) scanner-made PDF → (pdfimages -all) → (unpaper) → PBM →
(ghostscript/pdfwrite) → error
2) tex → (LaTeX) → PDF → (ghostscript/pbm) → PBM → (ghostscript/pdfwrite) →
error
3) (imagemagick) → PBM → (ghostscript/pdfwrite) → error
This seems to show that PBMs of any kind produce an error when using
the PDFwrite driver. Case 2 is interesting because it shows
Ghostscript’s own output is fed back into it and it can’t handle it.
Case 3 is demonstrated below because it requires no source file to
start with (ImageMagick gives a way to generate an arbitrary image
on-the-fly). So it’s easy to reproduce as long as ImageMagick is
installed.

It’s worth noting that case 2 has no problem if the middle step uses
the ppmraw driver instead of the pbm driver. So I thought perhaps a
workaround would be to convert the PBM file produced by unpaper (case
1) to PPM, then feed the PPM file into GS -- but no, the same
“invalidfileaccess” occurs. I also retried case 3 but using a PPM
instead, which also failed:

Upstream bug is resolved. See the link above for detailed notes as there has
been a deliberate change in behaviour so that this is regarded as not a bug,
but rather the command invocation needs adjustment.
