Hi all,

Well, today I saw that the new Intrepid Ibex doesn't have the ps2pdf package. And I would like to install it.

How can i solve it?

Thanks for help ;)

You probably need the texlive-base-bin package. It's in the repos so look for it in synaptic.

Sorry because of the double post, but, I searched so much and I can't understand why in others distributions have it and in Intrepid not.

Some help?

Seems to be in 'ghostscript' (from apt-file search ghostscript).


sudo dpkg -L ghostscript

gives me:

/usr/bin/pdf2dsc
/usr/bin/pdf2ps
/usr/bin/pdfopt
/usr/bin/pf2afm
/usr/bin/pfbtopfa
/usr/bin/printafm
/usr/bin/ps2ascii
/usr/bin/ps2epsi
/usr/bin/ps2pdf
/usr/bin/ps2pdf12
/usr/bin/ps2pdf13
/usr/bin/ps2pdf14
/usr/bin/ps2pdfwr
/usr/bin/ps2ps
/usr/bin/ps2ps2
/usr/bin/wftopfa

amongst others, so I reckon


sudo apt-get install ghostscript

should do the trick
