aptitude update and aptitude safe-upgrade, and now my
GPL Ghostscript 8.71 can't display any pdf files, not even
those generated by gs version 8.71 ! nor the PDF invoice my ISP
just sent me :-( It displays the the correct number of pages
down the left-hand-side, but then every page it tries to display:

GPL Ghostscript 8.71: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1
I notice that a similar message arose a couple of years ago:
http://www.ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-bugs/2008-May.txt
Postscript files seem to work fine.
Any ideas ?

This, it seems, is a ghostscript bug which occurs in debian
("testing") package ghostscript 8.71~dfsg-1 and is fixed in
ghostscript 8.71~dfsg-2 (currently still "unstable").
It's got something to do with copy_trailer_attrs changing to
process_trailer_attrs. So I can either get 8.71~dfsg-2 from
unstable, or wait till it migrates to testing, and that should
solve the problem.
