Package: texlive-binaries
Version: 2018.20181218.49446-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
ghostscript has dropped support for the reportedly non-standard
'execute' command since version 9.27. Upstream indicates that this
will remain the case and is not a bug. This situation leaves xdvi in
buster unable to render enclosed eps graphics. xdvik-ja has
implemented execute natively in version -3 with the patch below,
resolving the issue for this viewer. Ghostscript upstream recommends
using only standard postscript and has offered to help with
suggestions if needed.
As a wishlist item, it would be nice if xdvi/ghostscript reported an
error rather than silent failure to speed debugging.
Thanks so much!
