Hmm, this is really odd. Your description (especially the fact that evince and qpdfview are both affected) points towards a bug in the libspectre1 library. The version in Ubuntu 13.10 is 0.2.7-2ubuntu1 (http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libspectre1). Now comes the strange part: I am using debian unstable and that has version 0.27-2 (http://packages.debian.org/sid/libspectre1) and I can view the file you attached on my system without problems.
So unless the Ubuntu packagers committed some major blunder, the problem does not appear to reside in the library. I am using daily builds of qpdfview from a PPA. Would you be willing to try the version from this PPA: https://code.launchpad.net/~adamreichold/qpdfview/dailydeb just to confirm that the problem still occurs in the newest version? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1271451 Title: qpdfview 0.4.3-1 doesn't open ps and eps files properly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qpdfview/+bug/1271451/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
