[Gllug] Upgrading ghostscript on Debian

[robin.c.smith at bt.com]

Thanks,

Before I tried to to upgrade debhelper I thought I would do a dist-upgrade (
how I love Debian and apt-get and my cable modem ). I then tried the apt-get
source -b gs and everthing is running through smoothly, the strange think is
that debhelper was not upgraded.

Never mind I am happy now.

Robin

Sounds like rebuilding debhelper from the source first is the way to go.
(Disclaimer: I don't know if this depends on other stuff stable doesn't
have.)
