Subject: bug#50625: ghostscript shell scripts refer to unqualified external commands
Date: Thu, 16 Sep 2021 11:28:40 -0400 (EDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.21.2109161121570.4243@marsh.hcoop.net> (raw)
Hi Guix,
Many of the commands, e.g. ps2pdf, provided by the ghostscript package are
implemented as shell scripts that do some argument or file name processing
before invoking the main gs binary. These scripts invoke external commands
like basename, awk, dirname, and even gs by dynamically looking them up
PATH. Instead, they should refer to a specific path in the store so that
the behavior of ghostscript doesn't depend on the environment and so that
Guix can see these references.
Best,
Jack
