First and most importantly, libspectre apparently is for ps support, not pdf. That was one of many confusions that made it hard to get that lib even into a state good enough to even consider packaging. Given that, it's unclear that "okular doesn't display pdf correctly" is related to absence, presence, or breakage in libspectre (not sure if it uses the postscript handlers when reading/rendering other complex filetypes). Second, with my local okular that links my personal libspectre, both okular4-mac and okular4-x11 *do* display .ps files (open .pdf in Preview.app, Print...Save as PostScript...). I don't know if okular has always done this (with a workaround or other implementation if no libspectre). So if my libspectre does enable .ps support, maybe it's worth committing (also as a real-world test that the libspectre package is good). dan
