There appears to be font alternative/fallback dependencies between groff and 
ghostscript with version numbers - I have previous groff 1.22.4 and gs 10.0 so 
these paths are outdated in my installation:

/usr/share/groff/1.22.4/font/devpdf/download:   AvantGarde-Book 
/usr/share/ghostscript/9.26/Resource/Font/URWGothic-Book
/usr/share/groff/1.22.4/font/devpdf/download:   AvantGarde-BookOblique 
/usr/share/ghostscript/9.26/Resource/Font/URWGothic-BookOblique
/usr/share/groff/1.22.4/font/devpdf/download:   AvantGarde-Demi 
/usr/share/ghostscript/9.26/Resource/Font/URWGothic-Demi
/usr/share/groff/1.22.4/font/devpdf/download:   AvantGarde-DemiOblique 
/usr/share/ghostscript/9.26/Resource/Font/URWGothic-DemiOblique
/usr/share/groff/1.22.4/font/devpdf/download:   Bookman-Demi 
/usr/share/ghostscript/9.26/Resource/Font/URWBookman-Demi
/usr/share/groff/1.22.4/font/devpdf/download:   Bookman-DemiItalic 
/usr/share/ghostscript/9.26/Resource/Font/URWBookman-DemiItalic
/usr/share/groff/1.22.4/font/devpdf/download:   Bookman-Light 
/usr/share/ghostscript/9.26/Resource/Font/URWBookman-LightItalic
/usr/share/groff/1.22.4/font/devpdf/download:   Bookman-LightItalic 
/usr/share/ghostscript/9.26/Resource/Font/URWBookman-Light

What do you have?

It looks like groff should check and update gs version postinstall and gs should 
check for groff and update version postinstall.
