Import eps files in inkscape 092 1 Ubuntu 16.04

I'm trying to import an eps file in Ubuntu 16.04, inkscape 0.92 and got this error:

ps2pdf failed:
GPL Ghostscript 9.26: Can't find initialization file gs_init.ps.

I am using Ubuntu 18.04, I had installed inkscape through the Ubuntu Software center and had the same problem.
I have uninstalled inkscape and installed it again through:

sudo apt  install inkscape

This solved the issue for me.

In Ubuntu Software there are 2 versions of Inkscape the one with snap (most recent version) and the legacy.
The Snap version was the one failing for me.

I've replaced it by the legacy version that fixed the issue.
