because it was fixed in preparation for 11.10 well after 11.04 was released. now, there are some updates for older releases, but someone needs volunteer to do the work to prepare a fix. that simply hasn't happened here. i assume everyone that would be capable of that has upgraded to 11.10 anyway where it isn't a problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/788343 Title: [natty] xpdf segfaults on start-up To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xpdf/+bug/788343/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

yes, its a poppler, bug, but it only affects xpdf. given that, i think its fine for it to stay here since people running into the problem can find the solution here rather than reporting yet another bug about this... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/788343 Title: [natty] xpdf segfaults on start-up To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xpdf/+bug/788343/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 788343] Re: [natty] xpdf segfaults on start-up
I find that if I use the Debian xpdf package (version 3.02-21), the problem persists. However, if I use the Debian libpoppler13 package (version 0.16.7-2) (together with the required libopenjpeg2, also from Debian), then both Debian and Ubuntu xpdf work. So maybe one should view this as a libpoppler bug. (Note: I'm not entirely sure that some of the above comments actually refer to the actual bug being reported. The bug being reported is not the problem with the include files, it's the segmentation fault.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/788343 Title: [natty] xpdf segfaults on start-up To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xpdf/+bug/788343/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

download the source: apt-get source xpdf look at the vcs-browser entry in the control file: gedit xpdf-*/debian/control but this is all moot since whoever is in charge of syncing from debian can just do that, and a bunch of bugs will be fixed including this one. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/788343 Title: [natty] xpdf segfaults on start-up To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xpdf/+bug/788343/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This seems like a rather serious bug. The application is completely unusable as it is intended to be used. That is to open pdf documents. Someone really needs to notice this bug and fix it. In the mean time I have compiled a version with poppler disabled for myself so that I can at least use xpdf.
