Confirming the bug with Ubuntu Precise amd64. After trying various fixes posted on the web and totally wrecking my package system (mixing in i386 packages by mistake), for me finally worked in Ubuntu Precise _64bit_ version:
$ apt-get purge libpoppler19* $ wget http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/poppler/libpoppler13_0.16.7-2ubuntu2_amd64.deb $ wget http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/x/xpdf/xpdf_3.02-21_amd64.deb $ sudo dpkg -i libpoppler13_0.16.7-2ubuntu2_amd64.deb $ sudo dpkg -i xpdf_3.02-21_amd64.deb Now there's a little catch to this because with daily ubuntu updates, the package manager will try to re-build xpdf against libpoppler19, which breaks xpdf again. To prevent this, put the xpdf package on hold via $ echo "xpdf hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections This can be undone with $ echo "xpdf install" | sudo dpkg --set-selections To check the status: $ dpkg --get-selections | grep xpdf Done! ;-) Good luck all! .roots -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/943195 Title: xpdf.real crashed with SIGSEGV in GooHash::hash() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xpdf/+bug/943195/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
