I can confirm this, I have the same problem in gutsy, on two different machines.

pdftk (1.40-2ubuntu3) gutsy; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/abi-mismatch.dpatch: Don't use local copies of (old) gcc-4.1
    files; breaks pdftk when gcj-4.2 is used (LP: #132923).

Very nice, it's working again with the recent upgrade! Thanks a lot!

[Robert Hrovat (robi-hipnos)]

Fix working! Thank you.

[Nikolaus Filus (nfilus)]

re-open please. Bug re-introduced in Intrepid

 libgcj failure: gcj linkage error.
 Incorrect library ABI version detected. Aborting.
 Aborted

pdftk 1.41-3
libgcj8-1 4.2.4-3ubuntu3

re-introduced in intrepid

[Michael Bienia (geser)]

I can't reproduce it on Intrepid AMD64.

[Nikolaus Filus (nfilus)]

try harder :)
simple pdftk call works and shows help, but a "real call" like
 pdftk input.pdf cat 2-3 output.pdf
fails with the above error.

[Michael Bienia (geser)]

Even a "real call" works for me.

I can confirm this happens on intrepid amd64. What information would be useful? Here is « ldd /usr/bin/pdftk »:

Happens on x86 Intrepid also _IF_ libgcj9-0 is installed. After removing libgcj9-0 and dependencies (pdftk depends on libgcj8-1) pdftk works properly.

[Jakob Unterwurzacher (jakobunt)]

Works on Jaunty amd64 (tested cat operation).

The Debian fix should be in Ubuntu by now, so this is fixed, closing the bug now. Reopen if you still get this in Karmic or Lucid!
