Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu even better! It would be quite helpful if you attach the document you are having a problem with so we can better recreate this bug and work on fixing it. Thanks in advance.

Here it is.

Confirmed on latest Jaunty.

The error messages are:
** (evince:6333): WARNING **: DjvuLibre error: Unexpected End Of File.
** (evince:6333): WARNING **: DjvuLibre error: DataPool.cpp:1771
** (evince:6333): WARNING **: DjvuLibre error: DjVuFile.cpp:2253

note: the file opens correctly with djview4

[Curtis Bright (cbright-gmail)]

It opens in Evince 2.22.2 but not in 2.24.1 or 2.26.1. I can only see the first 88 pages though.

[Dimitrios Symeonidis (azimout)]

Still an issue in Karmic.
We should report this upstream...

reported upstream, added bug watch

"note: the file opens correctly with djview4"
Well, on Jaunty only the first 88 pages are available here as well.

Are you sure this djvu file is complete? Can all pages be opened in a djvu reader on Windows or similar?

I have no problems opening other djvu files in evince.

If this file is damaged, the bug should be renamed to "Opening incomplete/damaged djvu files crashes evince", which still would be valid, as it would be about fixing evince to incorporate the same behavior as djview, ie not crash but simply displaying the pages that exists.

Ah, upstream it already says:

Carlos Garcia Campos [evince developer] 2009-08-29 13:49:17 UTC

That document is broken, we shouldn't crash though.

[Fishy (marc-fishy)]

I must admit I never tried to open it on another djvu reader.

At least evince should display an error message, and it shouldn't crash the other instances of evince.

I agree the name of the bug should be changed (anything I can do about it ? I'm not a LaunchPad expert)

Crash not reproducible in Trusty.
