I think you will find the file ~/Report_a_bug_about_Ubuntu.ps containing
the output you wanted.
pdf2ps’s man page gives usage as:
pdf2ps [ options ] input.pdf [output.ps]
What it doesn’t mention is that if output.ps is not specified, input.ps
will be automatically created in the current directory. If you want to
use standard output, you need to specify “-”.
So, a couple of rephrasings that would work are:
pdf2ps PDF/Report_a_bug_about_Ubuntu.pdf test.ps
pdf2ps PDF/Report_a_bug_about_Ubuntu.pdf - > test.ps
I am marking this bug as Invalid because “the report describes the
software’s normal behaviour” (https://help.launchpad.net/BugStatuses).
Of course, please revert the status if I have misdiagnosed the symptom.
However, I agree that the usage of pdf2ps and the other ghostscript
programs is confusing, and would like it to be standardised, so if you
want to create a feature specification or similar, I for one would
second it!
** Changed in: ghostscript (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid
