pstoedit missing separators in svg output

[Roland Orre]

Binary package hint: pstoedit

On some eps input files pstoedit generates svg output which gives parsing errors.

In the attached example the file diagram.eps is converted to svg with the command
 /usr/bin/pstoedit -noclip -xshift -30 -yshift 200 -ndt -usebbfrominput -f plot-svg diagram.eps diagram-bug.svg

this file can not be included in e.g. inkscape or be parsed by e.g. seamonkey
seamonkey diagram-bug.svg
gives

XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: file:///home/orre/work/who5/toxscore4/error/diagram-bug.svg
Line Number 79, Column 129:<polygon points="81.801,280.55 106.85,280.55 106.85,464.65 81.801,464.65 " stroke="lime" stroke-width="0" stroke-dasharray="2 1"fill="lime" fill-rule="nonzero" />
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------^

The problem is that there is no blank space before fill=
A workaround is to edit the generated output file
/usr/bin/pstoedit -noclip -xshift -30 -yshift 200 -ndt -usebbfrominput -f plot-svg $1 |sed -e 's/"fill=/" fill=/g' > $dst

This problem still exists for pstoedit in lucid and maverick.

Looking at the attachments in this bug report, I noticed that one was flagged as a patch incorrectly. A patch contains changes to an Ubuntu package that will resolve a bug, since this was not one I've unchecked the patch flag for it. In the future keep in mind the definition of a patch. You can learn more about what qualifies as a patch at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Patches. Thanks!
