Package: evince
Version: 43.0-1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: moonexiler at gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

I am using evince on Debian unstable system, everything goes well until I
notice that ghostscript package is currently under transition, and one
of its binaries that evince requires, **libgs9**, updates and is renamed to
**libgs10**. upgrading ghostscript will remove libgs9 and pull in
libgs10, hence evince will be removed by autoremove, too.

I can't find useful informations about libgs9 problem in
Debian Package Tracker's evince page. What should I do now? 
For now I choose to wait and not to upgrade my system.

'aptitude why libgs9' shows:
i   evince           Depends libevdocument3-4 (= 43.0-1)
i A libevdocument3-4 Depends libspectre1 (>= 0.2.3)     
i A libspectre1      Depends libgs9 (>= 9.53.0~dfsg)

With Sincere Appreciation,
Zhian Chen
