ImageMagick maybe broken by libgs9 upgrade

I use ImageMagick to convert and crop shipping labels from PDFs generated by Ebay. On 6/8, this command worked:
$ convert -density 300 -crop 1500x1200 label.pdf label.png
Aborted (core dumped)
The command still runs on PDFs that were not generated by Ebay, but I get the same error on old Ebay PDF files (from 6/8 and earlier) that previously converted and cropped without problems.
This is in my /var/log/setup.log:
2020/06/09 19:52:15 29 install libgs9 9.52-2
2020/06/09 19:52:15 30 erase libgs9 9.27-2
Cropping in a separate step after converting to PNG still works:
$ convert -density 300 label.pdf temp.png
$ convert -crop 1500x1200 temp.png label.png
But in case other ImageMagick functionality is also broken, this isn't a permanent solution. I tried to downgrade libgs9, but 9.27 is no longer an option in setup, even after I added another mirror.
Thanks for your help!
