app-text/xpdf-1.01-r1 depends on app-text/ghostscript.
This is bad for people who want to use the enhanced
esp-ghostscript instead of the normal ghostscript.
Updating xpdf would install ghostscipt although
esp-ghostscipt is already installed.

I think both app-text/esp-ghostscript and
app-text/ghostscript should provide the package
'ghostscript' to solve this dependency problem.

I tested xpdf together with esp-ghostscript and
it works fine.

Cheers.

If you "emerge --clean sync" you'll find that esp-ghostscript no
longer exists.  Our regular ghostscript ebuild is really esp-ghostscript
(as of 11 July).  I hadn't realized that we had an esp-ghostscript
ebuild.  Ah, looking at viewcvs, it seems it was just there for a
day as drobbins tested it, then he replaced app-text/ghostscript
with esp-ghostscript and removed app-text/eps-ghostscript.  You 
must have snagged it during that one-day window.  Sorry about
that.  Bad drobbins!

Okay, so "emerge --clean sync && emerge unmerge eps-ghostscript && 
emerge ghostscript" and you'll be fine.  We're (meaning drobbins,
actually) working on a modification to portage so that package
renamings and movements such as that one will be transparent to
the user (except for some additional compile time).  Again, my
apologies.
