I was having issues to open .eps files with evince: $ evince ss.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 It seems a bug caused by changes between ghostscript-gpl-9.52 and 9.53: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=426935 https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=259287 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1887544 For now maybe we can workaround it by revbumping libspectre with a dep on versions >=9.53 to ensure it gets rebuilt with proper gs version, but, for the future, maybe we should introduce a subslot dep on ghoscript to prevent issues like this in the future Thanks
