Oops, my fault sorry for that! I indeed forgot to use the "force" option.
Will fix that asap.

PS: Yes, the stupid version numbers for those fonts used upstream by the 
ghostscript project is also part of the mess I was referring to, but far 
worse it the fact that the fonts have not been released as a standalone 
tarball for so long. The fonts themselves (outlines and metrics) are of 
a  very high quality, so there is no problem in that respect. It's just 
that the ghostscript project does not seem to care releasing them. The 
tarball was generated by Fedora from the ghostscript svn repo. The new 
version not only fixes the bug mentioned above, but also adds glyphs for 
Cyrillic.
