Description

I've seen a2ps not working with text, C and asm files after the most recent update of ghostscript (on CentOS 7.3). This is likely the same issue and downgrading to ghostscript-9.07-20.el7.x86_64 also resolved it. Of the 5 patches included in the newer package, only patch23, # getenv and filenameforall: do not ignore -dSAFER (bug #1380327) causes trouble. evince accesses ghoscript via the API (via libspectre). xfig also has trouble and invokes gs via the commandline. A simplified commandline way to trigger problems is: gs -c '<< /PermitFileReading [ (/path/to/file.eps)] >> setuserparams .locksafe' Version 9.07-20.el7 would show a blank window.
