Bug Description

Binary package hint: kpdf

1) Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release: 8.04

2) kpdf:
  Installed: 4:3.5.9-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 4:3.5.9-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 4:3.5.9-0ubuntu1 0
        500 cdrom://Kubuntu 8.04 _Hardy Heron_ - Release Candidate amd64 (20080417.1) hardy/main Packages

When I open the attached pdf with kpdf or the konqueror, kpdf diplays the first page and then crashes. It seems to be a bug specific to the ubuntu version, because I already reported it to bugs.kde.org, but it seems to work for them. This is part of the reply I got:

This crash was fixed in Okular (the KDE 4 replacement of KPDF), which is going to be default PDF reader in Kubuntu Intrepid (due in October).

Thank you for this report and helping us make Kubuntu a yet better operating system.
