After using these tools, installing the epsmegre port (and some others) and then removing the latter again, the former have stopped working!

How come those devices they ask for have dissapeared, or why have they suddenly developed a need for them?
Oddly enough, ps2epsi seems to produce the correct output, regardless of the error - ps2pdf not so.
I have reinstalled ghostscript-gnu, but it didn't solve the problem.
Are there some port around that messed with them in a way that didn't showed up untill I pkg_delete'd those ports?
Possibly. That would be a bug in whichever port did that, and would be worth fixing, but we'd have to identify the bug first.
I think the file in question would be: $ locate pdfwrite /usr/local/share/ghostscript/7.07/lib/pdfwrite.ps $ so check to see if you have it.
OK, so it is a file. I wasn't sure, and didn't think about "locate" it!
bash-2.05b$ locate pdfwrite /usr/local/share/apps/kdeprint/filters/pdfwrite.desktop /usr/local/share/apps/kdeprint/filters/pdfwrite.xml /usr/local/share/ghostscript/7.07/lib/pdfwrite.ps /usr/ports/print/ghostscript-gnu/work/ghostscript-7.07/lib/pdfwrite.ps
Apparantly it's there. Now why it's used I have no idea. Of course, I now have no idea which ports I have installed, deleted and reinstalled again )or in what order).
