@Brian, you have some details on
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evince/issues/967

the interesting bit is "The fix will be in 9.24" (speaking of ghoscript), that 
version is in cosmic
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ghostscript/9.24~dfsg+1-0ubuntu1

Note, that --enable-ps is the default in cosmic, upstream changed the
default in the update to be on the safe side in case users don't have
the fix ghostcript, do using the --enable-ps is not a change over what
we have in cosmic already.

Title:
  Update evince to 3.28.4

Status in evince package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in evince source package in Bionic:
  New

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  New release in the stable 3.28 series.

  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evince/commits/gnome-3-28
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evince/blob/gnome-3-28/NEWS

  [Test Case]
  1. Install new evince version
  2. try opening multiple pdf and ps files, ensure no obvious regression is 
visible.

  [Regression Potential] 
  The visible regression potential is the enable-ps (see comment below), 
otherwise, the new evince upstream release has been released a while ago with 
no post-release fixes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evince/commits/gnome-3-28

  [Other Info]
  Please add --enable-ps to the build options since this version disables 
viewing Postscript files as a workaround for security issues in Ghostscript. We 
should fix Ghostscript instead.
