Ok, well, I've recompiled with libjpegg6a (6a-5). I don't know if
that's the one with the goof or not. Is it? The depends won't
change, anyhow.
As far as `libpaper' goes, the library itself is not linked to any
other libraries. The reason the package has a depends on libc5 is
that `paperconf' is linked against it. It recompiles with no
changes, so there's no reason why a libc6 release couldn't happen
with very little work involved. (15 minutes) Since `gs-aladdin'
really only needs the libpaper.so, and it depends on "libpaper
(>=1.0-1), there's no problem there, the dependancy won't change.
Here's the new control file from "debian/tmp/DEBIAN/"
Package: gs-aladdin
Version: 5.03-1
Architecture: i386
Depends: libc6, libjpegg6a, libpng0g, xlib6g (>= 3.3-5), zlib1g, libpaper (>=1.0-1)
Recommends: gsfonts (>=4.01-3), gv
Conflicts: gs

Maintainer: Karl M. Hegbloom <karlheg@inetarena.com>
Description: Postscript interpreter with X11 preview support.
This version is Aladdin copy right, not GNU copyleft, see
"/usr/doc/copyright/gs". Ghostscript is used for postscript preview
and printing. Usually as a back-end to a program such as `gv', it
can display postscript documents in an X11 environment.
.
Furthermore, it can render postscript files as graphics to be printed
on non-postscript printers. Supported printers include common
dot-matrix, inkjet and laser models.
Shall I upload this one? (Please? It took 2 days of work.) Until
then, a copy for examination can be found at:
