I don`t understand while a bug known for so long seems to be still present in
Xubuntu 13.04.
If ghostscript is the problem why is the buggy version still in use?
Or do I encounter a different problem?
Additional, the workaround (comment #11) given above is not effective (at least
not
for me):
$ echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8
evince <name>.ps
"EvinceDocument-CRITICAL **: ev_document_misc_pixbuf_from_surface:
assertion `surface' failed"
export LANG=C
$ echo $LANG
C
evince <name>.ps
"EvinceDocument-CRITICAL **: ev_document_misc_pixbuf_from_surface:
assertion `surface' failed"
Is there an effective workaround known (commandliner would be
appreciated)?
Any fixed/improved packages available via PPA (if not generally)?
Or are users forced to use gv (it still works - so many users may use it as
workaround - but I really
would like to use evince for PS viewing)?

Title:
Evince not rendering Postscript files
Status in GS-GPL - GPL Ghostscript:
Unknown
Status in libspectre:
Invalid
Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Since the last updates to Ubuntu 13.04, Evince is not rendering
postscript files any more. I attach a very simple file I produced with
LaTeX. I also attach a video that shows what happens, it tries to show
the page, but then a 1 (for page 1) appears in the miniature sidebar
at the left, and it says "Loading..." but nothing happens.
This is what evince shows from the terminal line:
undefined -21
