OpenSuse Tumbleweed.

PNG to EPS conversion fails here (and probably vice versa).

They provide five different policies. The only one that works for me is
the "open" policy, descibred as follows:

"This policy is designed for usage in secure settings like those
protected by firewalls or within Docker containers."

As said, this is a very recent policy change that was rolled out last
week, and I understand this is in response to the recent vulnerability
reports.
