Howdy,

I put my epstopdf.cfg file (for automatically dealing with tif, tiff and gif conversion) in /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/latex/config (and remember to run `sudo -H mktexlsr`). However it does appear it's being read in your personal tree.

There were changes in repstopdf for 2020 so you need to put

\RequirePackage{grfext}

at the top of the .cfg file. There are some other changes. I include a copy of my epstopdf.cfg file for your perusal:
