Bug 71014 – ghostscript warning: DEBUG: no psname was provided, gpdf not working

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Tor Klingberg 2004-11-12 14:28:22 UTC]

Every time I use ghostscript for any kind of pdf I get the message "DEBUG: no psname was provided.". The operation seems to work anyway.

pdf2ps and ps2pdf output it on the console. When opening a pdf in ggv I get the message in a dialog box, but ggv shows the file correctly. gpdf hangs completely (might be unrelated). 

I think this is related to these bugs:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-August/msg03145.html
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-June/msg02859.html

I use ghostscript-7.07.1-r7 and I thing this bug appeared after the lastest upgrade.

Reproducible: Always

Created attachment 44496 [details, diff]
Comment out "DEBUG: no psname provided" warning

I looked into the redhat-fedora ghostscript-7.07-32.src.rpm and diff'd the
current ghostscript-7.07-fontconfig-rh.patch with the one used in Gentoo's
ghostscript-7.07.1-r7 ebuild.

The difference is just (between some CFLAGS and LIB changes) that the statement
"DEBUG: no psname provided" is commented out. The attached patch comments it
out in the Gentoo patch gs7.07.1-fontconfig-rh.patch.

Regards,
Matthias
