Impact

ps2pdf stops working after upgrade of ghostscript to 9.25~dfsg+1-0ubuntu0.14.04.2 .
ghostscript and libgs9 are upgrated to 9.25~dfsg+1-0ubuntu0.14.04.2,
but not libgs9-common which reamins at 9.25~dfsg+1-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 version.

Test Case

To reproduce the bug:
Install 9.25~dfsg+1-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 version of ghostscript, libgs9 and libgs9-common.
At this point ps2pdf should be working fine.
Then sudo apt install ghostscript.
ghostscript and libgs9 are upgraded but not libgs9-common.
ps2pdf stops working :
$ ps2pdf ascii.ps
