Description:   Opened: 2004-11-16 07:30 0000 
Emerging the gsview-4.6 (latest version) ebuild also installs an epstool
binary.

However, the epstool installed by gsview is version 2.3 (2 years old), whereas
the version of the separate epstool ebuild in portage is 3.04.

Hence, installing gsview silently downgrades the installed epstool.

gsview should depend on the separate epstool instead of installing its own, or
should install its own in a hidden location.

Removing the dobin epstool stops the install of it. GSView 4.6.1 is in beta and
no longer includes epstool anyway so lets stop installing it now. Ive submitted
aonther bug 73768 for an epstool upgrade too.

http://www.ghostscript.com/article/63.html for 4.61 beta release

Should be able to mark 4.6 stable now too, please

Yes, would be nice if gsview didn't install epstool. If you allow me to modify
your ebuilds, I could do this. Just tell me.

yeah, go ahead

------- Comment #6 From Craig Bradney 2005-01-05 12:11:45 0000 ------- 
Given the simple fix of removing the  bin/epstool from the dobin line, this
could be closed very quickly.

fixed in gsview-4.6-r1
