To view PDF files, gv uses the obsolete pdf2dsc.ps file,
which was present in ghostscript up to 10.04, but removed
in ghostscript 10.05.0~dfsg-1.

So one now gets an error:

Execution stack:
   %interp_exit   .runexec2   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   2   %stopped_push   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   --nostringval--   false   1   %stopped_push
Dictionary stack:

Current allocation mode is local
Last OS error: No such file or directory
------------------------------------------------------------

in the terminal and an error window saying that the execution
of "gs ... pdf2dsc.ps -c quit" failed.

The PDF file can be viewed, but the page numbers on the left pane
are missing.
