Ravi,

Yes, the dependency of gv and evince on gs-esp is quite annoying (in
fact, I think it's a bug in itself).

However, you  don't need Acrobat Reader; you can use your favorite
programs by having gs-esp installed to satisfy their deps but telling
the OS to use gs-gpl instead. To do that, install both gs-gpl and gs-esp
(plus gv, evince or the viewer you want, of course) and then type at a
terminal:

sudo update-alternatives --config gs

You'll see a menu list of all installed gs drivers. Choose gs-gpl.
That's what will be used. You can use gv, evince & co. without problems.

(I suggest you rememeber update-alternatives for the future. It's a very
useful command).

Hope this helps,

GK.
