Package: ghostscript
Version: 8.64~dfsg-6
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

I execute a2ps on a text file to generate a .ps file.

evince a.ps does not work, I receive errors:
fatal internal error -100fatal internal error -100fatal internal error
-100

lpr a.ps does not work either (pdftops error).

Downgrading ghostscript and libgs8 to testing version (8.64~dfsg-1.1)
fixes the problem.
