Description Dmitri A. Sergatskov 2017-10-03 23:57:49 UTC

Description of problem:
replacing urw-fonts with urw-base35 makes "Helvetica" font unavailble
and thus breaks ghostscript

How reproducible:

Comment 1 David Kaspar // Dee'Kej 2017-10-04 11:09:10 UTC

Yeah, this is caused by ghostscript not being updated in time. My mistake, I will make a Bodhi release today to solve this.
