Bug#561354: evince-gtk: Can't view ps

[Boris Hollas]

Package: evince-gtk
Version: 2.28.1-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Evince shows error messages when I tried to view postscript documents. The documents itself was not shown.

I've been able to view postscript documents after I've installed ghostscript. However, evince doesn't depend on nor suggests or recommends ghostscript. Since evince is also a ps viewer, it should have a dependency on ghostscript.

I use evince on xfce4. I don't have gnome installed.
