Package: evince
Version: 3.38.0-3
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: mbrennwa@gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

Opening any EPS or PS file leads to an empty display showing "Loading..."
forever. I tested different EPS and PS files, and the result is always the
same. The files open properly with ghostview, inkscape, gimp, etc.

Running evince from a terminal shows the following:

$ evince test.eps
**** Unable to open the initial device, quitting.
(libspectre) ghostscript reports: fatal internal error -100**** Unable to open
the initial device, quitting.
(libspectre) ghostscript reports: fatal internal error -100**** Unable to open
the initial device, quitting.
(libspectre) ghostscript reports: fatal internal error -100

I am aware that this problem is probably related to libspectre somehow, but I
do not know how to test this. Also I suspect the problem may be related to how
evince and libspectre interact with each other.

The expected behaviour would be to open and display EPS and PS files normally,
or at least to show a message informing the user what went wrong.

This was fixed in Ghostscript since release 9.53.3~dfsg-6 - I just 
forgot to mention it in changelog (that will be corrected in next 
release).

Thanks to all involved in triaging this bug,
