Ok, did you have a hard disk crash recently? The only reasonable
explanation is that your filesytem is messed up. I would suggest
running fsck manually after booting from some external media.
TO fix your problem you should do:
- remove these four files:

> mktexlsr: /var/lib/texmf/ls-R: no magic string, skipping...
- rerun mktexlsr

Maybe you somehow made gs write to the wrong place, but still, my theory
is a fs inconsistency.
