Package: ghostscript
Version: 9.05~dfsg-6.3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Trying to produce a pdf file as usual (latex, dvi2ps then ps2pdf). Worked like a charm on squeeze.

here my test postscript document (produced from latex then dvi2ps): http://dgeo.perso.ec-m.fr/tp2A_scilab_N1.ps . 

ps2pdf from a i386 install of wheezy works too (9.05~dfsg-6.3): http://dgeo.perso.ec-m.fr/tp2A_scilab_N1.wheezy_i386.pdf
ps2pdf from a squeeze install used to work
ps2pdf from a freebsd amd64 workstation works as expected (ghostscript 9.06 there): http://dgeo.perso.ec-m.fr/tp2A_scilab_N1.freebsd_gs_9.06.pdf
for this document it can be worked around with pdflatex (good pdf output)

I repeated this test using Debian sid and xpdf no longer complains about the 
bounding box.  Therefore I am closing this on the assumption that the 
postscript itself was buggy in some fashion.  Presumably the new latex version 
emits better conforming postscript?

I've attached the ps obtained from latex && dvips, along with the pdf from 
ps2pdf.

The latex version run is: 

pdfTeX, Version 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.25 (TeX Live 2023/Debian) (preloaded 
format=latex 2024.2.24)  3 MAR 2024 21:39

-Steve
