Title:
evince and okular do not render eps files
Ha ha... we are close to the first birthday of this bug, which is not
yet fixed on 15.04
Perhaps it will be fixed for 15.10, or 16.04, or 17.04?

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
I know the bug status says Fix Released, but the problem is still
present on new installs of Ubuntu 14.04 (using a 14.04 image and
upgrading all packages, NOT installing from a 14.04.2 image).
Are there any plans to backport/fix this in the LTS release?

I confirm the previous post of GrandVizier.
Incredible that it has been badly fixed !
Previously totally black, the background is totally white.
Please read the ADOBE standard concerning the EPS language before
implementing some hazardous or not professional things !
My linux box is Ubuntu
libspectre - 0.2.7-2ubuntu3 does not solve the problem for me.
Rather, it replaces the original problem (black background) with another one
(nothing displayed, completely white).
As before, manually adding showpage at the end of the eps file renders
correctly.
I observe the problem on Ubuntu

I've just spoken with Till about this on IRC.
It seems to me that there are two patches involved here. Patch 1 (fix-
document-rotation) fixed bug 1242678, but caused a regression (tracked
by this bug: bug 1348384). Marek has kindly provided patch 2 (erase-
page) that fixes this.
But patch 1 was
Marek, is the patch from upstream (or at least submitted to upstream)?
Can we expect it to be included in an upstream version of libspectre
soon?

The patch is a simplified version of the patch
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=105606. I still can not
reproduce the problem mentioned by Carlos and my previous patch was
reverted so I don't know whether it will be included there at all.

Thanks a lot Corentin. The re-build of a vanilla DEB package solves the
rendering perfectly.
Your explainations were quite clear...

This patch fixes the problem for me. But I can not reproduce the problem
mentioned in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76450#c34 so
there are still some problems probably.

Marek, it seems that your fix on libspectre for bug 1242678 is causing
this bug. Can you have a look? Thanks.

The vanilla libspectre-0.2.7 doesn't show this behavior. The patch we are

last June, but was reverted in September:

Title:
evince and okular do not render eps files
So how's fault is it? Is it in scope of libspectre tasks to add a dummy
showpage for eps files? Or have all applications that
use libspectre handle this case themself?

Yes, I can confirm that appending the showpage command to my eps files
causes them to be rendered correctly by evince and libspectre. From what

I'm happy to discover that this bug is registrated here. I tried many

It appears that it affects

Hi John,
You can download the old package from ubuntu:

I am experiencing what appears to be the same problem. Just upgraded to
14.04 from 12.04, all of my eps files now have black backgrounds when
viewed with evince. I've attached an example eps file.
The file displays normally with ghostview.

This is the evince postscript backend. Between precise and trusty,
libspectre1 was upgraded from 0.2.6-1build1 to 0.2.7-2ubuntu1.1. I
downloaded and installed the previous version from the precise archive

Chris,
Is there a previous version of libspectre1 from the trusty repository?
I've been running 14.04 on this machine, and feel like this is a recent
development.
I will mention that 13.10 did not have this issue either, so the
regression likely happened between the last version supplied to
