>Description:
The "watanbe" font was recently split out the "ja-vflib" package to reduce
its size. Unfortunately the "ghostscript" package which depends on the
"ja-vflib" package doesn't work without this font installed because the
the VFlib cannot open the "min" font.
>How-To-Repeat:
1.) Install latest "ja-vflib" and "ghostscript" packages.
2.) Remove "watanabe-vfont" package.
3.) Try to view a file with "gs".
>Fix:
Either add a dependence on the "watanabe" package or fix the "ja-vflib"
package to work without the font.
