I also see this problem. It's very weird.
dpkg package version: $ dpkg -p ghostscript | grep Version Version: 8.61.dfsg.1-1ubuntu3 so, 8.61 $ gs -v GPL Ghostscript 8.63 (2008-08-01) so.. 8.63? Which is the right one? Well, let's look at the package: $ dpkg -L ghostscript | grep gs_init /usr/share/ghostscript/8.61/lib/gs_init.ps Ok, it seems like a symlinks might work here: # ln -s /usr/share/ghostscript/8.61 /usr/share/ghostscript/8.63 $ gs gs: Interpreter revision (863) does not match gs_init.ps revision (861). Eek, not working. Ok, how about if we change the first non-comment line in gs_init.ps, where the revision resides? # ... edit gs_init.ps ... $ gs GPL Ghostscript 8.63 (2008-08-01) Copyright (C) 2008 Artifex Software, Inc. All rights reserved. This software comes with NO WARRANTY: see the file PUBLIC for details. GS> Hey! That worked. I don't know WHY this fix is needed. I hope someone else finds out, and fixes the package. -- Can't find initialization file gs_init.ps. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/262000 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
