Quoting from the pstoedit's manpage (note that it's an option available
only in the buster+ package):
|[-rdb]
|
|Since version 3.10 pstoedit uses the -dDELAYBIND option when calling
|Ghostscript. But in version 9.22 of GhostScript, that option is not
|supported anymore because of security reasons. As a fallback, that
|version provides the REALLYDELAYBIND option and pstoedit can use this if
|you supply the -rdb option. Use this with caution as it might open
|security risks, e.g. a PostScript file injecting some malicious code
|into PostScript standard operators. However, not using this option can
|cause some of the PostScript drawings operations to be not seen by
|pstoedit, hence causing missing artefacts in the output. Later versions
|of Ghostscript will probably support -dDELAYBIND again. But also in that
|case the security risk remains. So be careful with what files you
|process with pstoedit and Ghostscript.
tbh, I'd prefer Ghostscript to be updated, as in #897407
