It is rather odd: seems to be full of ghostscript entries from an old
local ghostscript installation. ls-R-TEXLIVE looks much more
reasonable...

Anyway, /var/lib/texmf/ls-R is attached.
I suspect that I just need to clean up that old ghostscript and probably
delete the existing ls-R. I had tried texhash and so on before reporting
the bug so maybe it seems likely that that local ghostscript is somehow
messing that up as well.

Here is the mktexlsr (texhash) run:-

f# mktexlsr

/var/lib/texmf/ls-R is still the same after the run above.

I will look at that local ghostscript installation: it was needed a long
time ago to support a Brother printer which the Debian packages did
not cover back then. CUPS has changed that. I had forgotten about it.
Not sure that this is really the answer, but at least it gives me
something to try.
