Rendering of SVG's with linked images causes nautilus to hang

[Antonio Roberts]

Binary package hint: nautilus

I created an svg in Inkscape that contains a linked jpg image. If you move the linked image, as Inkscape/SVG creates an absolute link to the image, when nautilus tries to render it it can't find the image and then freezes.

To reproduce:
Create an svg in Inkscape, add in but don't embed an image. Save to somewhere.
Move the linked image
Go back to the folder containing the svg and watch as it tries to create a thumbnail preview

Please try to obtain a backtrace of that hang following the instructions at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and upload the backtrace (as an attachment) to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

I tried downloading nautilus-dbg and got the following error:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies.
  nautilus-dbg: Depends: nautilus (= 1:2.28.1-0ubuntu3) but 1:2.28.1-0ubuntu3.1 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

I'm using an up-to-date version of ubuntu 9.10, so can't really see why this is happening

@Seba

For my benefit and future bug reports could you tell me how you did the backtrace?

[seba (5-admin-starepro-info)]

@Antonio Roberts

I'm not sure is my backtrace helpfull but i made it using this tutorial link->https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace<-link

But first i have to install -->nautilus-dbg<-- package to generate report.

Seba already provided a backtrace, reopening

[Sense Egbert Hofstede (sense)]

Unfortunately the gdb output attached is incomplete and therefore not useful. I would like to ask the commenter to repeat the steps he tookbut execute the 'bt' command in GDB before quitting the debugger. That is necessary in order to make sure the actual backtrace is printed to the screen.

Furthermore, I would also like to ask you all whether this bug is reproducible on Lucid, the current development focus.

Just did a backtrace on this under 10.04 and it appears to be fixed now
