When I export the document as a PDF, the frames that just display the

causes the export to stop with an error saying it was unable to load 
the image.


I'm not sure if this is related to something in the PDFs or not. 
However it is happening on two documents I am working on.


The problem appears to be an incompatibility between Scribus and 
Ghostscript 9.25 since I've found mention of a similar problem 
(importing .eps files) on a Scribus list.


Does anyone know if the Debian maintainers are going to revert to an 
earlier version of Ghostscript or bring the fix down from an 
experimental version of Scribus to fix this? Whatever the solution, the 
current situation is not good enough to allow Buster to become Stable.

problems with PDFs come up occasionally on the scribus list.
Did you have a look through archives there ?

You got an answer - It was suggested to ask on the Scribus forums. Not many 
poeple here are going to be in desktop publishing.

You might have told the poster to stop hijacking threads in your orignal 
post too! He probably didn't no better and it would have helped him amend 
his ways ... Just saying.
