Description:
Ghostscript depends on Jasper but ldd suggests that it is not used.

Additional info:
Up to ghostscript-9.20-2 the PKGBUILD attempted to remove third party Jasper source code even though it hadn't been present in the Ghostscript source tarball for some time.
I may be mistaken (if so sorry) but Ghostscript now use openjpeg2 for jpeg-2000

* package version(s)
ghostscript-9.20-2

* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
This task depends upon

Ghostscript 9.20-3 is now built against system jasper again. That change wasn't wanted.

Jasper has not been included in the Ghostscript tarball since ghostscript-2.07. rm'ing an non-existent jasper directory doesn't change anything.

You're absolutely right. Jasper isn't included and no more required in any way. 9.20-4 fixes this actually.
