Re: pdfcrop results in pdfTEX error

I agree, the difference between 8.64.dfsg.1-0ubuntu8 and 8.64.dfsg.1-0ubuntu8.1 must be Ubuntu-specific...

I experience no problems on a gentoo-based desktop, with slightly different minor versions.

Re: pdfcrop results in pdfTEX error

Looks like a ghostscript issue to me.

pdfcrop worked fine for years until ghostscript upgrade to 8.64.dfsg.1-0ubuntu8.1.

Downgrading to 8.64.dfsg.1-0ubuntu8 restores pdfcrop operation.

Re: pdfcrop results in pdfTEX error

Are you using Ubuntu?

I had the same problem since last ghostscript upgrade earlier in July.

My workaround was to downgrade to the minor version "8.64.dfsg.1-0ubuntu8" of both ghostscript and libgs8 (from 8.64.dfsg.1-0ubuntu8.1).

Best,
