<p>Dear Scribus Team,</p>
<p>I recently encountered the problem that I am not able to import any eps files via File>Import> Get_vector_file anymore. This is really puzzling because I never had a problem regarding this matter for years.
</p>
<p>I am using Ubuntu 16.04, Scribus 1.4.6, Ghostscript 9.25. </p>
<p>The prompt I get is: </p>
<pre>Importing File:
</pre>
<pre style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"><filename>.eps</pre>
<pre style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">failed!</pre>

</p>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">
It appears that there's a problem regarding ghostscript, since the terminal output is:</p>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">
</p>
<pre style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">PostScript import failed when calling gs as:

However, looking at the images in ghostview directly works without any problems.</p>

In the beginning, I thought that the fonts might be problematic but even the following file created via gnuplot, in this way:</p>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">
</p>
<pre>gnuplot> set term eps color solid </pre>
<pre>gnuplot> set out 'test.eps'</pre>
<pre>gnuplot> p x</pre>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">
</p>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">
can not be imported and the error is the same. </p>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">
</p>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">
I tried updating scribus, ghostscript, ghostscript-font (gsfont), without success.</p>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">
</p>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">
Dou you maybe have any idea or experience how I could solve this issue?</p>
