Package: xfig Version: 1:3.2.5.b-1.1 Severity: normal
When I insert an eps-file as a "picture object" into an xfig drawing, no preview bitmap is being generated. Instead, xfig reports a ghostscript error: "Error: /invalidfileaccess in --run--" This even happens for eps-files that were generated with xfig. I.e., if I draw a circle in xfig, then choose "Export", and save as an eps. However, I have gotten the bug consistently, no matter what the origin of the eps-file. All eps-files render fine when using gv/ghostscript. This bug has been already reported for redhat https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=657290 and openSUSE: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=629462 Apparently it is related to a security patch for ghostscript, but a workaround for xfig seems to have been found for these distributions. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.33.2 (SMP w/8 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages xfig depends on: ii libc6 2.11.2-11 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libjpeg62 6b1-1 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libpng12-0 1.2.44-1 PNG library - runtime ii libx11-6 2:1.3.3-4 X11 client-side library ii libxi6 2:1.3-6 X11 Input extension library ii libxpm4 1:3.5.9-1 X11 pixmap library ii libxt6 1:1.0.7-1 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii xaw3dg 1.5+E-18 Xaw3d widget set ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime Versions of packages xfig recommends: ii transfig 1:3.2.5.c-1 Utilities for converting XFig figu ii xfig-libs 1:3.2.5.b-1.1 XFig image libraries and examples Versions of packages xfig suggests: ii cups-client 1.4.5-2 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii ghostscript 8.71~dfsg2-6.1 The GPL Ghostscript PostScript/PDF ii gimp 2.6.11-1 The GNU Image Manipulation Program ii gsfonts-x11 0.21 Make Ghostscript fonts available t ii lpr 1:2008.05.17 BSD lpr/lpd line printer spooling ii netpbm 2:10.0-12.2+b1 Graphics conversion tools between pn spell <none> (no description available) pn xfig-doc <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
