> DocView seems to do the wrong thing on a Postscript file when there is
> support for SVG in Emacs.  I also have "gs" and "mutool" installed.
> 
> How to reproduce:
>     - emacs -Q
>     - C-x C-f "existing-document.ps"
>     - C-c C-c -> no images displayed
> 
> Looking for pages into the cache with `doc-view-dired-cache', it seems
> that DocView has produced PNG content into files with "svg" extension.
> Emacs then tries to display SVG images with PNG content and, obviously,
> failed.
> 
> The following patch fixes the issue for me but maybe there is more than
> meets the eye:
