Issue with epstopdf not working in LaTeX Compilation

[David Carlisle]

tex-live list is really for issues with the distribution as a whole, not
individual packages, as package issues can not be solved here, they should
be raised with the package maintainers (even if we are on this list:-)

That said, you have not shown any input so it is hard to guess the issue.
You should not have to use the epstopdf package explicitly (epstopdf-base
is automatically loaded by graphicx) and you shouldn't have to use
--shell-escape.

Your log file is incomplete and ends

Package epstopdf Info: Source file: <feedback_n.eps>
(epstopdf)                    date: 2024-02-21 00:21:29
(epstopdf)                    size: 69874 bytes
(epstopdf)             Output file: <feedback_n-eps-converted-to.pdf>
(epstopdf)             Command: <repstopdf
--outfile=feedback_n-eps-converted-t
o.pdf feedback_n.eps>
(epstopdf)             \inc


so does not show any useful error that you got while including the
generated pdf.

Did the feedback_n-eps-converted-to.pdf file fail to get generated (in
which case you should have had an error from ghostscript) or did it get
generated but latex not include it (in which case you should have an error
from latex in the part of the log file not shown)
