Only a small status update. I worked on the very same patches for ghostscript as well for the unstable version, to confirm I did not any significant mistake in the backports. The problem starts there as well once the patches are applied, and I suspect it actually might have uncovered a bug in a library which is used by evince and zathura(-ps), libspectre came to my mind. We go no reports for other clients so far, not using that. If you want to give the packages as well for unstable a try, I have uploaded to https://people.debian.org/~carnil/tmp/ghostscript/ . Looking at the bugs for src:libspectre indeed there is a long list of failure reports with some PostScript files not failing with other viewers/readers :-/ The above though is not yet confirmed. Stay tuned, and any debugging help welcome. Regards, Salvatore
