Bug in ps2epsi in debian distro (lindows)

[Joel Hammer]

That may be because ps2epsi is not listed in the psutils package!

Searching the debian package site shows only this package to contain
/usr/bin/ps2epsi:
          gs-aladdin

which is a non-free package.

Maybe it was part of the gs package I downloaded.

The man page doesn't tell where to contact the author, etc, so, I am not
going to track anybody down and tell them.
