Older versions of Ghostscript open a way for script infusion.
Because of bugs in the Ghostscript binary out of the BlueSpice package manager, Hallo Welt! mostly installed manually on Linux systems. These bugs no longer seem to be a problem.
==How to update  - Linux==
# '''Check '''the system for manual installation and delete it:<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">ls -al /usr/local/bin</syntaxhighlight>If there is a binary called<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">gs</syntaxhighlight>delete it:<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
rm -fr /usr/local/bin/gs</syntaxhighlight>
#'''Check''' the system for an installation out of the package manager (Ghostscript comes as a dependency of ImageMagik):<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
dpkg -l ghostscript
</syntaxhighlight>for  Debian 11 this should look like:<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
root@XXXXXXXXXXXX:~# dpkg -l ghostscript
Gewünscht=Unbekannt/Installieren/R=Entfernen/P=Vollständig Löschen/Halten

005-PdfHandler.php:5:$wgPdfProcessor = '/usr/local/bin/gs';
</syntaxhighlight>It could be <code>005-PdfHandler.php</code> or some other configuration file.<br /><br />
#'''Find'''  '''and change''' the variable to the correct path, for example with this command:<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sed -i 's/local\///g' 005-PdfHandler.php
</syntaxhighlight>Double-check:<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
root@XXXXXXXXXXX:/var/www/bluespice/w/settings.d# grep -rin PdfProcessor
005-PdfHandler.php:5:$wgPdfProcessor = '/usr/bin/gs';
