Package: gnuplot Version: 4.4.0-1 Severity: normal The 'pdfcairo' terminal misinterprets a "|" in the output filename. An example:
$ cat cmds set term pdfcairo set output "| cat" plot sin(x) $ gnuplot < cmds $ ls -l total 12 -rw-r--r-- 1 sanjoy sanjoy 7503 Sep 15 14:33 | cat -rw-r--r-- 1 sanjoy sanjoy 49 Sep 15 14:33 cmds So, instead of sending the pdf file to the stdout (as it correctly does if the terminal is "post"), it created a pdf file named "| cat". -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.35.3 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gnuplot depends on: ii gnuplot-nox 4.4.0-1 A command-line driven interactive ii gnuplot-x11 4.4.0-1 A command-line driven interactive gnuplot recommends no packages.
