 This is working as intended. Using software under AGPL may have
 undesirable consequences under some circumstances, which is why some
 folks (and companies!) want to avoid installing anything that's AGPL.
 Situations like this are specifically what the license framework was
 designed for.
 
 For Ghostscript, there is ghostscript-gpl as an alternative.
