Most of the Fedoras just updated Ghostscript from 9.55 to 9.56 - this is incompatible with the current version of Asymptote 2.81, at least 2.82 is required to work with 9.56. See confirmation of this by author(s): https://sourceforge.net/p/asymptote/discussion/409349/thread/25a19504b9/?limit=25#27ab. Please could you consider upgrading asymptote to 2.82, thanks!
