** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+  When attempting to import PDF files, a scenario frequently
+  occurs in which the import fails with no error message.
+  This happens because ocrfeeder does not wait for the call
+  to ghostscript to finish running before attempting to
+  read its output.
+ 
+ [Test Plan]
+  * Run ocrfeeder
+  * Click File -> Import PDF
+  * Choose a PDF file with many pages, as this will
+    be more likely to trigger the bug
+  * Observe that none of the PDF pages appear in ocrfeeder
+    and it states "No images added" in the lower left corner
+  * Install ocrfeeder from -proposed
+  * Attempt to import the PDF file again, and observe that
+    all of the pages appear in ocrfeeder
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+  If the ghostscript call hangs indefinitely for any
+  reason, the ocrfeeder application will also be hung.
+ 
+ [Original Description]
  Using the File menu of ocrfeeder :
  
  -  Adding a JPG image systematically succeeds,
  
  -  Importing a PDF systematically fails (without any error message).
  
  Please fix the handling of PDF by ocrfeeder.
