I tried to do something simple with pdfxup, but I don't manage to get
anything off it :

It looks like the usual incompatible change in gs. Could you load the 
latest version of pdfxup from CTAN and check if that solves your issue?

It doesn't. Not the same line numbers, but same errors.

I'm having the same problem. I tried replacing -dSAFER with -dNOSAFER in 
the script (per https://github.com/bmjcode/tkDocViewer/issues/1) , but 
that didn't solve it for me.  I'd love a work around besides using 
another program, such as briss.  I use pdfxup a lot.

I found a simple work around: Move the file to /tmp before running 
pdfxup on it.

Whew.

Hi,

Sorry for my late answer. Two comments on this problem:

1) currently pdfxup does not handle several input files. Everything
after the first PDf file is omitted. So the command above would work,
but would be equivalent to

$ pdfxup -l 28-11-2020-attestation-de-deplacement-derogatoire.pdf


2) I cannot reproduce the bug. Apparently, it occurred with v1.60 (lines
360-361 test the version number of ghostscript). It seems that your bash
does not correctly interpret "${GSVERSION%.*}", which should return "9".
Could you try (in bash)

$ GSVERSION=9.53; echo "${GSVERSION%.*}"



Best,

I could figure out where the problem comes from: ghostscript added a
patch level in their version numbers. A way of fixing this is to replace
line 456 of pdfxup v2.00 (or line 363 of pdfxup v1.61, or line 354 of
v1.60), which currently reads

GSVERSION=`$GS --version 2>/dev/null`;

with

GSVERSION=`$GS --version 2>/dev/null|sed -e "s/\(.\.[^\.]*\)\..*/\\1/"`;


Sorry for this. This will be corrected in the next version of pdfxup.

Best wishes,

I noticed that your fix is already on CTAN, hence I mark this issue as 
fixed in upstream. Many thanks for work!
