Here's the thing: Ghostscript has a hidden (and apparently broken)
dependency on cups (ie, it's not in the Makefile). If you (forcibly)
deinstall cups-base and cups-client, you will be able to install ghostscript
cleanly. Then when that succeeds, you reinstall cups-client (first) and
then cups-base.
Hope that helps.
