Subject: | bug#50625: ghostscript shell scripts refer to unqualified external commands |

Hi Guix,Many of the commands, e.g. ps2pdf, provided by the ghostscript package are implemented as shell scripts that do some argument or file name processing before invoking the main gs binary. These scripts invoke external commands like basename, awk, dirname, and even gs by dynamically looking them up PATH. Instead, they should refer to a specific path in the store so that the behavior of ghostscript doesn't depend on the environment and so that Guix can see these references.
Best, Jack
