inkscape crashed when trying to save in OASIS-format (*.odg)

[Stephan Gromer]

Binary package hint: inkscape

This applies to Feisty at least. It doesnt mater if its a clean install or an upgraded system from edgy. I tried it on two different systems with identical results.
I tried to save a drawing (content doesn't matter) in inkscape in the OASIS-format, by selecting "*.odg". After clicking "ok" I get a report that an internal error occured and that inkscape needs to be closed. No aaport-report is being created. I used then the (nightly) autopackage-file provided by upstream (official inkscape.org site), which doesn't show this problem.
To my naive brain it should thus be easy to fix by just comparing the files created and installed by autopackage with the ones in the Ubuntu .deb.

It needs upgrade, maybe fix the problem...

Stephan: You can request a backport for feisty for this package.

Dear Marco,

Thank you for your efforts. Until today there is no official Feisty backport for 0.45-1 available.
(source.list includes deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty-backports restricted main multiverse universe)
So, how do I "request" a backport. is there anyone I need to contact for that?
Regards
 Stephan

You just need to report a bug agains inkscape asking for a backport for feisty because it has problems.
