Broken ghostscript configuration

Solution 1:

Here's what worked for me:

sudo rmdir /usr/share/ghostscript/9.25/iccprofiles
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgs9-common

Something had left an empty directory at /usr/share/ghostscript/9.25/iccprofiles. It appears that libgs9-common creates a symlink from /usr/share/ghostscript/9.25/iccprofiles to /usr/share/color/icc/ghostscript, but silently fails to create it if there's already something in the filesystem.
