Subject: inkscape: with libpoppler3 0.8.3-1: crashes when opening PDFs, FTBFS

Date: Thu, 26 Jun 2008 21:44:50 +0200

Package: inkscape
Version: 0.46-1+b1
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
Justification: no longer builds from source

Hi,

I noticed that inkscape started crashing with PDFs after the recent
upgrade of libpoppler3; furthermore, it can no longer be built from the
Debian sources.

These are the show-stopping errors when running dpkg-buildpackage:

extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2248: error: no matching function for call to ‘GfxFont::getNextChar(char*&,
int&, CharCode*, Unicode [8], int, int*, double*, double*, double*, double*)’
/usr/include/poppler/GfxFont.h:204: note: candidates are: virtual int GfxFont::getNextChar(char*, int, CharCode*, Unico
de**, int*, double*, double*, double*, double*)
extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2270: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to ‘char*’
extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp:2297: error: no matching function for call to ‘GfxFont::getNextChar(char*&,
int&, CharCode*, Unicode [8], int, int*, double*, double*, double*, double*)’
/usr/include/poppler/GfxFont.h:204: note: candidates are: virtual int GfxFont::getNextChar(char*, int, CharCode*, Unico
de**, int*, double*, double*, double*, double*)

I found that this problem is known on Gentoo:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=224883

They have a patch:
http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/media-gfx/inkscape/files/inkscape-0.46-poppler-0.8.3.patch?view=markup

I can build the Debian package after applying this patch and PDF import
works again.

Thank you for your time and for your work on the inkscape package.
