First of all, I am well aware of this question: What's the easiest way to upgrade Ghostscript?.
Unfortunately none of the answers worked. I can find deb
files from this list. There, I am surprised to see that the last version of Ghostscript for Ubuntu 14.04 is version 9.10. When I download version 9.15 for Ubuntu 15.04, and I run it (as root), I get the error:
Error: dependency is not satisfiable libgs9
I checked (apt-get install libgs9
) and I have the latest libgs9 installed. Also, this site seems to confirm that last is version 9.10 for 14.04.
Does this mean it is not possible to upgrade Ghostscript?

What do you want to do is not possible. At least not without making your system broken.
You can't install the Vivid version of
ghostscript
in Trusty. The package has some dependencies and one of them islibgs9 (= 9.15+dfsg-0ubuntu2.1)
. The version forlibgs9
in Trusty islibgs9 (9.10~dfsg-0ubuntu10.4)
. Therefore, forget it. :)Repair your system via
In the meantime you could try this PPA
