Sorry for my late answer. Two comments on this problem:

1) currently pdfxup does not handle several input files. Everything
after the first PDf file is omitted. So the command above would work,
but would be equivalent to

$ pdfxup -l 28-11-2020-attestation-de-deplacement-derogatoire.pdf


2) I cannot reproduce the bug. Apparently, it occurred with v1.60 (lines
360-361 test the version number of ghostscript). It seems that your bash
does not correctly interpret "${GSVERSION%.*}", which should return "9".
Could you try (in bash)

$ GSVERSION=9.53; echo "${GSVERSION%.*}"



Best,
