I'd like to know. Are such byte sequences illegal but supported by Debian PDF readers or are they legal with the test in libpoppler5 being incorrect? If this is the former, then ghostscript should also be fixed in squeeze, at it generates such sequences; I had provided a patch before the freeze, but AFAIK, it has never been applied for squeeze: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=578910 and in particular: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=578910#28 It would be bad if Debian generates PDF files that yields problems on other platforms or with 3rd-party software. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arénaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
