Hi,

I'm going through some old bugs and checking them for validity.

https://bugs.debian.org/575469

I run your minimal example and could not reproduce your problem. Could
you confirm that the issue has been solved?

> \documentclass{article}
> \usepackage{graphicx}
> \begin{document}
> Word.
> \includegraphics{fig.eps}
> Another word.
