Sebastien: The Debian testing repository has a release of texlive which is from April rather than February which is the one in focal. It might be useful to try this release before reporting upstream since from what I have read this problem can occur because of issues with the particular release of texlive. It consists of many packages and if they are not properly synced there can be incompatibilities. If you could give me directions for adding the Debian testing repo to focal I can give it a try. I am having problems at present doing this because of absence of GPG keys.....

"ubndens.eps" \edef \Gin@ext {\Gin@temp }\fi \def \Gin@temp {.ps}\ifx \ETC. ! Paragraph ended before \@tempa was complete. <to be read again> \par l.24 ? latex files with no included graphics compile fine. The graphics file is attached. This problem was seen in other texlive distributions recently (miktex for example) so the problem is likely upstream and might be solved by pulling a more recent texlive distribution such as is done with a ppa.
