  I can't reproduce this. Only, with gs-gpl, I can't display the
  document, but that's all. With gs-esp works.

  Please send the output of the following commands:

    apt-cache policy gs-gpl
    apt-cache policy gs-esp
    /usr/sbin/update-alternatives --display gs

  What happens if you run `gv file.pdf`? And if you use gs-esp instead
  of gs-gpl (or vice versa)? (You can configure it with
  update-alternatives --config gs.)

In my opinion, the most fruitful and natural play of the mind is in
conversation. I find it sweeter than any other action in life; and if I
were forced to choose, I think I would rather lose my sight than my
hearing and voice.
