And I wonder how all those binaries ended below /usr/lib - could it be that you've compiled a bunch of different stuff by hand and installed it as root?Yes, that I have done; but always into /usr/local, AFAIK
That last part is what worries me :-P
If so, I suspect that some install routines might accidentally have installed stuff below /usr too,Well that would be very naughty of them. I did do the upgrade lenny to squeeze which is when the gv problem seem to have arisen, and haven't really compiled much by hand since. gv is the only program that's giving me problems.
What is the version of gv on your system? What does "dpkg -l gv" say?
and I can see gv doing: pipe([7, 8]) not sure what that does because I don't know where 8 came from, and then it polls file-descriptor 7 a lot, eventually getting the answer: box8> grep '(7' /tmp/t | less read(7, "Error: /undefined", 512) = 17 read(7, " in copy_trailer_attrs\nOperand s"..., 512) = 512 read(7, "ack:\n --dict:1159/1684(ro)(G)-"..., 512) = 197 close(7) = 0 so the error looks like it's coming from a gs process, just like gv is reporting that it does.
That is complete voodoo to me, but I believe you...
Ken Sharp, of gs-bugs, says:Hmm, sounds like either its gv, or possibly its somehow linking against a different version of Ghostscript, maybe an old one.Can I force-reinstall ghostscript and/or gv ?
Try this: aptitude reinstall gv ghostscript libgs8 gsfontsIf that doesn't help, I do consider reassigning this to gv. Even though you point out that it is gs parts of gv that spits out errors, as it occurs only through that program, which might do some dirty magic no longer supported or something...
