Bug description:
A week ago I had a problem with viewing EPS-files. (Now again). I posted the
following bug-description:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/457182/problems-after-installing-ubuntu-18-04-and-eps
I tried to reinstall libgs9, without result. There are especially problems
with viewing EPS-files again, however the original problem is solved.
I tried epstopdf and get:
epstopdf myfile.eps
Unrecoverable error: typecheck in .bind
Operand stack:
