[SOLVED] Can't find SRPM

[KernelKarter]

Following on from this: http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,109834.0.html

I thought I'd try and figure out what the problem is but I'm stuck before I begin:
The ghostscript RPM in the repo is ghostscript-9.04-2pclos2011.i586.rpm but the only SRPM I can find is ghostscript-9.04-1pclos2011.src.rpm

Use the SRPM that is available.

Or on the %changelog, check who packaged it last (Neal checks thh SRPMS so it should be the person after him. Then contact the packager.

Apr 01 2011 Texstar. Do not contact him!

I'd no intentions of contacting him.

Use the SRPM that is available.     

Builds and installs without errors.

Code: [Select]

[kernelkarter@stargate ~]$ gs --version
9.04
[kernelkarter@stargate ~]$
Unfortunately, it doesn't work correctly

"doesn't work correctly" isn't usable information in diagnosing the problem.

My HP Officejet Pro 8000 prints in black but not in colour.

Still not enough info, Eddie.

I have answered the original question about the 9.02/9.04 versioning here.  Synaptic/apt will not automatically downgrade packages so it was the only way to do it.

I guess only Texstar knows why he back it down, unless it has been discussed elsewhere in the forum.

Seen your response about the versioning differences, thanks, and I guess that just about wraps it up.
