A new ghostscript version has hit Rawhide but it can not be installed without a gimp-print rebuild (and gimp-print is used by a lot of stuff)
Really? I have gimp-print-4.2.7-12 installed as well as ghostscript-8.15.1-1. What was the problem you encountered?

Probably some kind of yum boog. Dunno if seth would be interested or if manual cleanup is better
If libijs.so()(64bit) is really missing from ghostscript that's a ghostscript bug.
Hmm, actually it should be libijs-0.35.so()(64bit), and that's provided in ghostscript and required in gimp-print. Why do you have gimp-print-4.2.7-7 installed? This looks messed up: [root@rousalka nim]# rpm -q ghostscript gimp-print ghostscript-7.07-40 ghostscript-8.15-0.rc4.3 gimp-print-4.2.7-7 gimp-print-4.2.7-12 gimp-print is not a multilib package.
I think gimp-print is one of the firefox deps (maybe several levels remote) and even if people are not supposed to use 32bit firefox on x86_64 it's pretty much a requirement as soon as flash enters the equation. I suspect yum made a mess of the multilib part, yes, the components should not have different versions like this
No, firefox does not require gimp-print, even transitively. See 'rpm -q --whatrequires gimp-print' to see the (very small) list of packages that do require gimp-print: gimp-print-plugin-4.2.7-7 gimp-print-utils-4.2.7-7 gimp-2.2.8-0.fc4.2 I don't see any package bug here, just a messed-up upgrade for some reason.
