Bug Description
OS: Version 11 (Katya), Gnome 64-bit
Problem: xpdf, as installed from the repos, segfaults when trying to open a PDF. This is on a brand new install with only the other following packages installed:
* chromium-browser
* keepassx
* texlive-full
Reproducability: always
Steps to reproduce:
$ sudo apt-get install xpdf
$ wget http://
$ xpdf english_11.0.pdf
Expected output: xpdf graphical interface showing the opened PDF
Actual output: Segmentation Fault
If xpdf is opened without a filename argument, the program launches successfully. However, it segfaults when you try to open a file from within the program.
To post a comment you must log in.
A minimal amount of prodding with gdb produces the following:
$ gdb
(gdb) run
>> Open a file from the graphical interface
GDB Error message:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. :findFontFile( GooString* , char**) () libpoppler. so.13
