#5462 — Call for testing: Testers needed for ghostscript update

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hi
 
We plan to rebase ghostscript via stretch-security to 9.25 plus cherry
picked security fixes which happened after that release.
 
Tests so far were limited, and thus we need a certain amount of further
external testing before we can release an update.
 
Packages are at
 
https://people.debian.org/~carnil/tmp/ghostscript/
 
Please reply for both positive and negative test feedback directly to me
or/and including team@security.debian.org .
 
Regards,
Salvatore

I'm using Buster, but I have download
ghostscript_9.25~dfsg-0+deb9u1~1.gbpb6a7bd_amd64.deb
libgs9_9.25~dfsg-0+deb9u1~1.gbpb6a7bd_amd64.deb

I see the correct image in the PDF, I don't know what is these 2 fatal 
IO error I get. I have checked and I get the same fatal IO error with 
the gs present in Buster.

Let me know if you want me to make more test and what type of test.

Ciao
Davide
