nip2 (7.14.1 on karmic amd64) crashes when opening an image-file

[[e-mail]]

Binary package hint: nip2

This bug is a simple as critical: Opening ANY image-file results in crashing.

Perhaps it has something to do with the outdated version number 7.14.1 in karmic amd64?

Oh, 7.14.5 is the right version number. However it is outdated anyway,

When started from a terminal, the error message is:

nip2: symbol lookup error: nip2: undefined symbol: im_istiff

Probably the version of nip2 is too old for the vips library, as vips is version 7.18.1, while nip2 is 7.14.5:

$ nip2 -v
nip2-7.14.5

Hi, I'm the upstream maintainer. This is fixed in Lucid, where nip2 and vips are both on 7.20.something. I suggest this bug should be closed.

(Background: gtk+ changes broke the spreadsheet widget that nip2 uses, so while the library was updated, the GUI was not. Hopefully all resolved now)
