• Bug#1102891: ghostscript: ps2pdf generates larger PDF files with 10.05.

    From Vincent Lefevre@21:1/5 to All on Sun Apr 13 02:50:01 2025
    Package: ghostscript
    Version: 10.05.0~dfsg-1
    Severity: normal

    There seems to be a regression in ghostscript 10.05.0~dfsg-1:
    ps2pdf generates larger PDF files than with 10.04.0~dfsg-2.
    For instance:

    With 10.04.0~dfsg-2: 92516
    With 10.05.0~dfsg-1: 99089

    Note: the input PDF file was generated by pdflatex. It does not have
    any image, just text and math.

    I don't have the time to investigate right now...

    And I could not have any expected cause in the Ghostscript 10.05
    release notes. So I'm wondering whether this is an upstream bug.
