Public bug reported:

I noticed after my poppler upload that the "doc-rfc" tests are failing

https://objectstorage.prodstack4-5.canonical.com/v1/AUTH_77e2ada1e7a84929a74ba3b87153c0ac
/autopkgtest-bionic/bionic/amd64/d/doc-rfc/20180410_090135_46f84@/log.gz

These tests basically zcat a ps.gz file to pstotext. It's this that is
broken. See:

 *** WARNING - the DELAYBIND command has been deprecated, and will be
               removed in the next version. For now you can restore
               the behaviour by using -dREALLYDEALYBIND but if you
               require continued use of this command you should contact
               the Ghostscript developers. Commercial customers of
               Artifex should email their support contact, free users
               are encouraged to talk to us on the #ghostscript IRC
               channel on irc.freenode.net.

Unrecoverable error: undefined in DELAYBIND
laney@nightingale> echo $?
3

but downgrading ghostscript libgs9 libgs9-common to the previous version
9.21~dfsg+1-0ubuntu3 fixes it:
