Comment 8 for bug 115175

I have uploaded new test packages (after working out a common concept with Debian's Ghostscript maintainer):

For Gutsy download all packages from

http://www.linux-foundation.org/~till/tmp/ubuntu/gutsy/ghostscript/binary/

and do

sudo dpkg -i *gs-esp*.deb *gs-afpl*.deb *gs-gpl*.deb *libgs*.deb *ghostscript*.deb

to replace your ESP and/or AFPL Ghostscript by the new merged GPL Ghostscript.

If you are running Feisty or older download the files from

http://www.linux-foundation.org/~till/tmp/ubuntu/gutsy/ghostscript/

into the same directory. Then do

sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get build-dep gs-esp gs-gpl
dpkg-source -x ghostscript_8.60.dfsg.1-0ubuntu1.dsc
cd ghostscript-8.60.dfsg.1
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i *gs-esp*.deb *gs-afpl*.deb *gs-gpl*.deb *libgs*.deb *ghostscript*.deb

Answer every question which appears with "y", so that all needed packages get installed.

Please tell us your results with the test packages.
