Please wait until GPL Ghostscript 9.0 (or 9.0.x) is usable.


Currently it

* breaks GNU gv on some documents (broken by commit 11619 - clearly 
before release of 9.0; cherry-picking commit 11808 helps).

* breaks printing, e. g. see   
http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=691733


so IMHO GPL ghostscript 9.0 is currently unusable (I have noticed both 
problems on my system).


Ideas how to repair ghostscript 9.0 are welcome, but not expected :-)
