Mmmm, it says it can "import" not to "open".
Have you tested with "File/Import" and it fails?

It seems to need "ps2pdf" so check if you have it installed with "whereis
ps2pf".

That error is quite similar to the one reported at Debian BTS.
Check if the version of Inkscape that you are running is affected by that
