Ghostscript problem in the MacTeX 2023

[Sarthak]

Hi Ettore.

Yes, symlinks to gs* binaries are there in    /opt/homebrew/bin.
 (Indeed, I am on Apple Silicon.) Yes, it looks like the trouble (as
Richard Koch of MacTeX pointed out to me in a recent email) is the result
of brew changing directories for Apple Silicon devices, and still
downloading Ghostscript as a dependency and not via MacTeX pkg (as you
point out).


Thanks,
Sarthak.
