Plain upstream Ghostscript

Edit Package ghostscript

The "ghostscript" package might be incompatible
with the official openSUSE "ghostscript-library"
package.

See "Package clean-up and upgrade to latest
stable release" at

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735824

You need the packages ghostscript and
ghostscript-x11 which replace the official
packages ghostscript-library and
ghostscript-x11 (provided you have already
the package ghostscript-x11 installed).

Do not remove installed ghostscript-fonts-*
packages.

To replace the official packages, you must
install ghostscript and ghostscript-x11
in one run, e.g.:

# rpm -Uhv ghostscript-*.rpm ghostscript-x11-*.rpm

To go back to the official packages, you must
first remove the ghostscript and ghostscript-x11
package and ignore RPM package dependencies, e.g.:

# rpm -e --nodeps ghostscript ghostscript-x11

Then you can re-install the official packages,
e.g.:

# rpm -Uhv ghostscript-library-*.rpm ghostscript-x11-*.rpm

Be careful that you specify during installation
the exact right ghostscript-x11-*.rpm package
(with exact matching version-release) - otherwise
you get RPM conflicts.

Plain upstream Ghostscript 9.05 (bnc#735824). It contains additional ghostscript-mini.spec which requires a link package ghostscript-mini which points to its parent package ghostscript in openSUSE:Factory. For most packages which need to only run Ghostscript during build, a single BuildRequires ghostscript-mini should be sufficient. For most packages which need Ghostscript development files to build, a single BuildRequires ghostscript-mini-devel should be sufficient. The openSUSE:Factory project config contains conflicts regarding ghostscript-mini which are no longer needed and let installing the build system fail so that those conflicts should be either removed from the project config or invalidated as in the project config of the Printing project. Furthermore please check the openSUSE:Factory project config regarding automated or preferred installation of ghostscript-library which is no longer valid and could even cause a broken build system when new ghostscript 9.05 packages are mixed up installed with old ghostscript-library packages.

There is a regression on ghostscript 9.27 fixed upstream, but there isn't a new point release yet. It affects klatexformula and some other apps that depends on ghostscript.

Please, apply the patch on: http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git;a=commitdiff;h=06c920713e11
