Package: xpdf
Version: 3.02-21
Severity: normal
Just got a new xpdf from testing repo.
It turns out that xpdf is now a shell script, but the logic to quote the
argument of -g, -z, etc is not correct. Example:
/tmp $ /usr/bin/xpdf -g 1024x768 sample.pdf
Warning: Shell widget "xpdf.real" has an invalid geometry specification:
"'1024x768'"
Warning: Shell widget "win" has an invalid geometry specification:
"'1024x768'"
The culprit is here (snippet from /usr/bin/xpdf):
while [ "$#" -gt "0" ]; do
case "$1" in
-z|-g|-geometry|-remote|-rgb|-papercolor|-eucjp|-t1lib|-ps|-paperw|-paperh|-upw)
cmd="$cmd $1 '$2'" && shift ;;
In the last line, the single quotes are added, but later it gets digested
as literal single quote characters.
I don't have an idea right now on how to fix this, but just pass this on
to you all.
Thanks,
Wirawan
