Package: texlive-pstricks
Version: 2022.20221123-1
Control: affects -1 ghostscript
Feed mwe.tex containing
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pstricks}
\begin{document}
Test
\end{document}
to `latex`, then issue `xdvi mwe` from an xterm under X11+gnome, and finally
observe the visual output https://i.stack.imgur.com/UYZKG.png

On the console,
gs:
gs: %%%% WARNING: Transparency operations ignored - need to use
-dALLOWPSTRANSPARENCY
gs:
gs:
is printed.
This is strange. The input file has no transparency whatsoever. In fact,
pstricks is not even used. Further, there's IMHO no way for xdvi to pass the
option `-dALLOWPSTRANSPARENCY` to gs. Finally, the graphical output should be
black, and not gray.
Presumably, updating texlive-pstricks or ghostscript might solve the problem,
but which versions of which packages would be the smallest to have the fix?
Versions used in this question:
• Debian package texlive 2022.20221123-1,
• Debian package texlive-binaries 2022.20220321.62855-4+b1,
• Debian package ghostscript 9.53.3~dfsg-7+deb11u4,
• `latex` has version `pdfTeX 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.24 (TeX Live 2022/Debian)`,
• `xdvi` has version 22.87.06,
• `pstricks.sty` has version 2022/19/23 v0.72, and
• `gs` has version 9.53.3.
I don't wish to update the machine in this very bug report myself without being
advised because this might trigger newer bugs, and rollbacks sometimes failed
in the past.
