Updated a2ps packages fix security vulnerability :

Brian M. Carlson reported that a2psโ€™s fixps script does not invoke gs with the -dSAFER option. Consequently executing fixps on a malicious PostScript file could result in files being deleted or arbitrary commands being executed with the privileges of the user running fixps (CVE-2014-0466).
