Hi,

(resending the mail since the text in the reopen mail apparently got
eaten by the control program)

I recently upgraded from lenny to squeeze and now I'm seeing a warning
from Ghostscript about cidfmap when I start it:

GPL Ghostscript 8.70 (2009-07-31)
Copyright (C) 2009 Artifex Software, Inc.  All rights reserved.
This software comes with NO WARRANTY: see the file PUBLIC for details.
Warning: the map file cidfmap was not found.

I had a chat with one of the Ghostscript developers about this warning
(there seems to be a similar problem in Fedora too):

<rillian> yes, there are definitely some packaging bugs
<Leonidas> rillian: actually, they introduced that bug by themselves:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=531182
<rillian> indeed
<rillian> although to be fair we've rearranged
<rillian> where those things are in the last couple of releases

So there seems to be a need to re-check what files has moved where and
get rid of the warning. This is why I re-opened this bug.

Except for the warning Ghostscript seems to be working fine and when I
create an empty cidfmap, it works without any warnings correctly. I
don't fully understand the original reason for removing cidfmap, I'd be
grateful if someone could explain the original reasons for this.

It would be nice if a maintainer could take a look at this. Thanks in
advance!

regards,
Marek
