I just did a fresh install of 14.04.2 from a newly downloaded 14.04.2 iso. This contains libspectre1_0.2.7-2ubuntu1.1_amd64 and produces the bug.
I tried Corentin's fix to install the vanilla version, but compiling crashed with: dpkg-genchanges: error: cannot read ../libspectre_0.2.7-vanilla-0ubuntu1.dsc: No such file or directory dpkg-buildpackage: error: dpkg-genchanges gave error exit status 2 I've gone through all of the ubuntu versions and this is what I get: libspectre1_0.2.7-2ubuntu1_amd64 -- White background libspectre1_0.2.7-2ubuntu1.1_amd64 -- Black background libspectre1_0.2.7-2ubuntu2_amd64 -- Black background libspectre1_0.2.7-2ubuntu3_amd64 -- White background So, version 3 works for me, but that is in 14.04.2. I see GrandVizier has a new problem in 15.04. I've attached an example eps file that renders correctly in 14.04.2 with libspectre1_0.2.7-2ubuntu3_amd64. ** Attachment added: "Example eps file that I am using to evaluate the presence of this bug." https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/1348384/+attachment/4423653/+files/example.eps -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1348384 Title: evince and okular do not render eps files correctly resulting in a black background Status in evince package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in libspectre package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in okular package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Several eps files, which previously rendered correctly, are not rendered correctly by evince and okular. It looks as though something is wrong with the "transparency" setting, since most of the incorrectly-rendered files have a black background, but the figure can somewhat be made out on top of hte black background. The PDF files I have tested are NOT affected. EPS files that were previously viewable correctly ARE affected. Thank you for your time.
