It seems, that for my needs, I can replace -sPageList=1 by -dFirstPage=1 -dLastPage=1 which should do the same, but does not fail with the new ghostscript version. Anyway, both variants are still mentioned in the documentation (https://ghostscript.readthedocs.io/en/gs10.02.0/Use.html), so they should work as before, so this is still an important bug in the new ghostscript version.
