I am going to go ahead and set the 'block-proposed' tag since we don't
want zesty to break when ghostscript is updated next there.

Title:
  Invalid access when opening eps with ghostscript
  9.19~dfsg+1-0ubuntu6.2 and libspectre 0.2.8

Status in ghostscript package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in libspectre package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  1. Install the latest Ubuntu security update for ghostscript (since
  this does not appear to have been released for zesty, it is a bit
  easier to do this from Ubuntu 16.10 than from 17.04).

  2. Install libspectre1 0.2.8-1 (from zesty or zesty-proposed).

  3. Open a .eps with Evince, Ubuntu's default viewer for eps files.
  Here's a test file:

  
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libspectre/+bug/1348384/+attachment/4171120/+files/countrate.eps

  What happens:
  The .eps fails to display. If run from a terminal, this is output:

  invalidaccess -7

  Earlier version of libspectre (I tested Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.10) still
  handle the test .eps file ok.
