Now I wanted to put back all those packages removed by GS 9.01 removal, and I needed to first install ghostscript-x: ghostscript-x_8.71~dfsg2-9_bīreaks existing package 'gsfonts' that conflict: 'gs'.īut the '/home/zetah/gs/ghostscript-x_8.71~dfsg2-9_b' provides it via: 'gs,gs-afpl,gs-esp,gs-gpl' I installed: libgs8_8.71~dfsg2-9_bĪnd tested GS interpreter and all was working fine. I removed GS 9.01 (and bunch of other packages on the way) and followed Boris' advice, as I didn't know what else can I do. I reported problems in the past (at least two times) on GS Launchpad branch, but no one even replied, and as a matter of fact no one ever replied to me on Launchpad for any report I issue, so I thought to remove completely ghostscript and install some other version.Īt first I thought to add Debian stable repository, and install better tested version, but it turned out that perhaps that's not very good idea - adding Debian repository in Ubuntu.Īs I can't "force" Synaptic to some previous GS version (as there is only one it seems - problematic one) I don't know how to approach this problem and wanted to ask how to install previous version, 8.71 preferably, because that's the last version in Debian stable. I searched Synaptic history if there maybe some recent update could cause GS crippling but there was nothing I work with GS a lot, and now all of a sudden I start getting this errors on any file, like something went wrong with this package or some of it's dependencies. This is second time I get segmentation fault error when I try to run GhostScript on any PDF file with pdfwriteįirst time it was my previous Ubuntu 11.04 distro, which afterwards I completely remove (not because of gs), format my drive etc, and then install 11.04 again
