I previously installed ghostscript and libgs8 from Till Kamppeter's ppa.
When I tried to follow the instructions given above, I get the following

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
ghostscript: Depends: libgs8 (= 8.71.dfsg.1-0ubuntu5.3) but
8.71.dfsg.1-0ubuntu5.3~0ppa1 is installed.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Upgrade the following packages:
libgs8 [8.71.dfsg.1-0ubuntu5.3~0ppa1 (lucid, now) -> 8.71.dfsg.1-0ubuntu5.3
(lucid-proposed)]
Score is 80
Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]
What it says about ghostscript and lbigs8 make sense, but I'm hesitant
to continue when it says that all those other packages (I'm not really
sure what they do) are to be REMOVED.
Should I go ahead and remove these packages?
