+Well as you have the necessary packaging-fu, you could try to add the
+Fedora patches which we don't have to the ghostscript package of Mageia 1,
+as they have approx. the same version that we have, and they don't have that
+problem from what i know. Or simply try first with the cauldron package,
+that is the same version as the Fedora one and start from there.
+
+I could do too, but that would be a really lengthy process as i can't test
+it directly. You can get the patches and the SPEC for fedora ghostscript here:
