Package: gs
Version: 6.53-3
This is a (possible) solution to that reported bug #139892.
NOTE: The ps2epsi script in gs-common itself is also broken. There is no
white-space between a pair of arguments to a `sed' command on either
side of a \ continuation marker. This was reported in #153182. I can
send a trivial patch for that if required.
The ps2epsi procedule within ps2epsi.ps command invokes a security fix too
early, making the ps2epsi command fail with an /invalidaccess error.
The fix incorporated in later versions of ghostscript involved moving the
line
//systemdict /.setsafe known { .setsafe } if
to the end of the procedure as per the following patch.
