[Till Kamppeter <1449875@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What is happening here is the following. With a standard Ubuntu Desktop
installation Ghostscript is not able to render the file attached to this
bug report. If one installs only the texlive-lang-cjk and nothing more
(therefore "--no-install-recommends"), Ghostscript remders the attached
file correctly.

This leads to the conclusion that adding the files contained in texlive-
lang-cjk to the system fixes Ghostscript's problem to render the
attached file.

Now a new problem occurs: If a package is installed, the system does not
only install the requested package and its dependencies, but also all
recommended packages. In our case we let Ghostscript recommend texlive-
lang-cjk and so the system installs texlive-lang-cjk but also the
packages which texlive-lang-cjk recommends, extra 40 unnecessary
packages which take several 100 MB of space.

To not blow up the standard installation with unneeded stuff, I want to
have texlive-lang-cjk added to the system, but nothing more.

Title:
  ghostscript fails on some EPS files

Status in ghostscript package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in texlive-lang package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  On Ubuntu 15.04, running in the cloud, I issue to following command to
  find the Bounding Box on the attached EPS. When I download the
  ghostscript binary from ghostscript.com or try the same on my FreeBSD
  server, it works just fine. Here's the command to reproduce:

  $ gs -q -sDEVICE=bbox -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dSAFER -dEPSCrop -r300
  broken-on-ubuntu-1504.eps

  The expected output:
  %%BoundingBox: 87 81 1515 1510
  %%HiResBoundingBox: 87.840941 81.600003 1514.790058 1509.385370

  The output on Ubuntu 15.04:
