I obtained help on this issue from latex.org. The problem was with my
local latex files NOT the system files so this bug can be closed.

Title:
latex compilation fails with included graphics
Status in texlive-base package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
The following very simple file (test.tex) fails to compile using
pdflatex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
text
\begin{figure}[tbp]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.7\textwidth]{ubndens}
\caption{test}
\label{fig:test}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
The error message is
Runaway argument?
"ubndens.eps" \edef \Gin@ext {\Gin@temp }\fi \def \Gin@temp {.ps}\ifx \ETC.
! Paragraph ended before \@tempa was complete.
<to be read again>
\par

?
latex files with no included graphics compile fine. The graphics file
is attached.
This problem was seen in other texlive distributions recently (miktex
for example) so the problem is likely upstream and might be solved by
pulling a more recent texlive distribution such as is done with a ppa.
