Evince crash opening certain PDF files

[Marco]

Binary package hint: evince

I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 64 bit with Gnome and with all the updates applied.

When I try to open the attached PDF file Evince crash whereas Adobe Reader 9 for Linux works.

Thanks to all.

This happens on i686 also, when running from terminal with: evince ./Fedora\ 10\ and\ Red\ Hat\ Enterprise\ Linux\ Bible\ January\ 2009.pdf
 the output is:
Error (0): Call to Object where the object was type 5, not the expected type 8
Aborted

After a bit of googling around, i have found, that this is similar to #419777 which does have the fix commited, but the fix has not arrived to me, although I have all the packages updated. Anyone any ideas why?

Works fine on 32-bit Ubuntu Kamic RC with evince 2.28.1 and poppler 0.12.0. Fix released?

[Dimitrios Symeonidis (azimout)]

I confirm that it does NOT crash in Karmic RC 32bit.

@evfool: fix committed means it's fixed in upstream trunk, fix released means it's fixed in Ubuntu (latest version). Which version are you on? Which arch?

[Robert Roth (evfool)]

I have the Karmic beta installed with all the updates, and now it's working for me too.
Evince 2.28.1-0ubuntu1 and libpoppler5 0.12.0-0ubuntu2
