Additional info:

I'm using TeXLive 2013 (?) but the problem should be reproducible with the LaTeX in the repo.

We need ghostscript-9.15 in F-21 before it can get into F-20. I'll start on that.

Comment 2 Tim Waugh 2015-04-02 12:00:55 UTC
Next problem is that ghostscript-9.15 requires openjpeg 2.1.x. Looks like this isn't worth doing before EOL.
