Package: flpsed Version: 0.5.1-1 Severity: grave Tags: patch Justification: renders package unusable
I received the following mail on February 4th but noticed it a bit
late :-(. It should really have been filed as a bug report!
Basically, "ghostscript" in lenny does not provide the "x11alpha"
driver which is needed by "flpsed". ("ghostscript" depends on
"gs-common" that used to depend on "ghostscript-x". It stopped doing
so with version 8.62.dfsg.1-3.2 which was uploaded in December!).
As pointed out by Eric, the minor patch to debian/control putting in
this dependency fixes this bug.
Regards,
Kapil.

Subject: flpsed and lenny
Hi Kapil,
Just installed flpsed and found a requirement that wasn't tagged in the
package: ghostscript-x. Without this additional package nothing shows up
in the editor window (just a white page). Hope this helps.
Thanks
Eric
