Hi!

I have some documents that produces DVI files with some
PostScript code.  Xdvi used to be able to show them, but nowadays
prints the following error on start:

xdvik: write_to_gs: Broken pipe
gs: Unknown device: x11
gs: Unrecoverable error: undefined in .uninstallpagedevice
gs: Operand stack:
gs:     defaultdevice

This can be simply resolved by installing ghostscript-x (though this was
not obvious) which contains the x11 device.  Maybe a simple recommend would
do to enable this part of xdvi.
(Although I've noticed that it only suggests ghostscript, so there
may be other considerations involved.)

Kind regards,
Paul
