I can confirm this bug when pstoedit is called to convert pdfs to svg. Gutsy systems can enter an infinite loop with no system calls when pstoedit is called in the normal way.
As mentioned in bug #156365 and bug #78737, and in the pstoedit changelog <URL: http://www.helga- glunz.homepage.t-online.de/pstoedit/changelog.htm >, the problem seems to arise from versions of pstoedit < 3.45 being used with ghostscripts >= 8.61. For a workaround, a local source-build backport of Debian sid's pstoedit 3.45-2 solved the problem for me: I suggest grabbing the three source files linked at at <URL: http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/pstoedit > and doing a local package build so that at least you'll be getting a packaged build of the program. -- pstoedit stucks on converting from eps to svg in gutsy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/123499 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
