There appears to be font alternative/fallback dependencies between groff and
ghostscript with version numbers - I have previous groff 1.22.4 and gs 10.0 so
these paths are outdated in my installation:
/usr/share/groff/1.22.4/font/devpdf/download: AvantGarde-Book
/usr/share/ghostscript/9.26/Resource/Font/URWGothic-Book
/usr/share/groff/1.22.4/font/devpdf/download: AvantGarde-BookOblique
/usr/share/ghostscript/9.26/Resource/Font/URWGothic-BookOblique
/usr/share/groff/1.22.4/font/devpdf/download: AvantGarde-Demi
/usr/share/ghostscript/9.26/Resource/Font/URWGothic-Demi
/usr/share/groff/1.22.4/font/devpdf/download: AvantGarde-DemiOblique
/usr/share/ghostscript/9.26/Resource/Font/URWGothic-DemiOblique
/usr/share/groff/1.22.4/font/devpdf/download: Bookman-Demi
/usr/share/ghostscript/9.26/Resource/Font/URWBookman-Demi
/usr/share/groff/1.22.4/font/devpdf/download: Bookman-DemiItalic
/usr/share/ghostscript/9.26/Resource/Font/URWBookman-DemiItalic
/usr/share/groff/1.22.4/font/devpdf/download: Bookman-Light
/usr/share/ghostscript/9.26/Resource/Font/URWBookman-LightItalic
/usr/share/groff/1.22.4/font/devpdf/download: Bookman-LightItalic
/usr/share/ghostscript/9.26/Resource/Font/URWBookman-Light
What do you have?
It looks like groff should check and update gs version postinstall and gs should
check for groff and update version postinstall.
