Subject: inkscape: Crash when rendering Latex formula in svg file created by Octave

Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2012 14:09:40 -0500

Package: inkscape
Version: 0.48.3.1-1.1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I am testing wheezy on my laptop.
Inkscape crashes when trying to render a LaTeX equation inside a .svg file created by Octave (note that Octave relies on GNUplot to create figures).
The problem occurs every time I type this from my xterm:

octave                          % Start octave.
plot(sin(1:10))                 % Plot anything, say, sinus of one to 10.
print('-dsvg','/tmp/toto.svg'); % Save the plot into svg file.
exit                            % Exit octave.
inkscape /tmp/toto.svg &        % Start Inkscape.
Extensions -> Render -> LaTeX Formula
Type `(/x+y/)' and then `Apply'
Inkscape crashes (Segmentation fault).

If I try to render the same equation in a new empty file inside Inkscape, everything works (beautiful equation and no crash).
I will send the file `toto.svg' in a separate email.
Does anybody have a suggestion?
Thanks for your time,

Pierre

Here is the .svg file produced by Octave, for those who don't have Octave installed on their machine.

Thanks for your help,

This may be fixed in version 0.48.4 of inkscape, but Stable systems
using Debian 7.x wheezy are still affected.

A patch is available. Can it be applied to the Wheezy version and
updated accordingly?

Thanks

Andrés
