Description Ali Akcaagac 2015-05-31 08:56:29 UTC
Something caught my attention after installing Fedora 22 (which I sadly have seen in older Fedora releases as well). I believe this to be a bug and thus would like to discuss a solution:

/usr/share/ghostscript/9.15/Resource/CMap/<poppler links>
/usr/share/ghostscript/9.16/Resource/CMap/<empty>

Please explain, how ghostscript 9.16 (which clearly knows only about ghostscript 9.16 (and the paths 9.16)) find the correct CMap files when they are stored in 9.15 ?

Comment 1 Tim Waugh 2015-06-16 15:27:17 UTC
The poppler data needs to be updated to the right location for 9.16.

Comment 2 Rex Dieter 2015-06-16 15:50:34 UTC
OK.


Tim, can we do something to make this more robust in the future?

options off the top of my head include:

* make the data dir that ghostscript uses unversioned (don't need to worry about supporting multiple ghostscripts being installed, so we?)
* similar to ^^, add (and use) some unversioned dir to gs search path
* give you commit access to poppler-data so that you can bump-n-build it whenever you bump ghostscript version
* some_better_idea

Comment 3 Fedora Update System 2015-06-16 16:12:36 UTC

Comment 4 Tim Waugh 2015-06-19 11:35:03 UTC
Probably the add-unversion-dir-to-search-path is the better option.
jgrulich: what do you think?
