Severity: important

The pdfxup(1) program fails in all usage as far as I can see:

$ pdfxup t0.pdf

This happens with all PDF inputs that I've tried.

I understand the first two lines of errors.  They arise because the code
of pdfxup expects the version number of gs to have exactly two components,
such as "9.53", but the gs that I have installed actually reports version
number "9.53.3".  Fixing that code in pdfxup doesn't resolve the rest
of the errors.
