Package: imagemagick-6.q16 Version: 8:6.9.11.60+dfsg-1.3 Severity: normal When "convert foo.png foo.eps" gets a security error, it leaves an empty foo.eps.
/usr/bin/convert should not generate incorrect output files. If the output cannot be correctly generated, the output file should be removed. The current behaviour is a problem when convert is used in a Makefile, where the first run of "make" generates an error but also an empty output file, then a second run of "make" treats that empty output file as correct and continues later stages of the build. Example: $ ls -l stroke-signs-1.eps ls: cannot access 'stroke-signs-1.eps': No such file or directory $ convert stroke-signs-1.png stroke-signs-1.eps convert-im6.q16: attempt to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy `EPS' @ error/constitute.c/IsCoderAuthorized/421. $ ls -l stroke-signs-1.eps -rw-rw-r-- 1 barak barak 0 Jan 14 22:36 stroke-signs-1.eps
