[xubuntu-users] Ghostscript gone?

[Joshua O'Leary]

The package version appears to be exactly the same as the repo version:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/ghostscript

There are also no conflicts listed in the dependencies so it doesn't appear that installing it would remove anything else (I haven't checked the site one yet but its probably just a mirror). It doesn't appear that this has caused anything to break, in general though stick only to repo packages for core things.
