[SOLVED] ghostscript/libspectre mismatch, error opening .ps files, libspectre needs rebuilding

kgha · 11-09-2020, 07:11 AM

After the Oct 1st -current upgrade to ghostscript-9.53.3 (maybe already with the 9.53.0 upgrade in September), it's no longer possible to open .ps files in atril/evince/qpdfview.
The solution is to simply rebuild libspectre-0.2.9 and all is well, so I'll mark the tread as solved from the beginning, trusting that Pat fixes an upgrade as soon as he can find the time.

Sorry about that.

I don't remember seeing anything posted about that on the Requests for -current thread (and the forum's database seems to be broken when attempting to search within specific threads), so maybe you could post something there.

Done, thanks for the reminder.
