Bug Description
1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 14.10
Release: 14.10
2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center
pstoedit:
Installed: 3.62-2
Candidate: 3.62-2
Version table:
*** 3.62-2 0

"pstoedit - f pptx myfile.eps myfile.pptx" gives an "Unsupported output format" error. Likewise for swf and emf. "pstoedit -help" does not list any of those formats.
The solution is for the pstoedit package to specify libzip-dev and libming-dev under Build-Depends. Doing so would enable support for the pptx and swf drivers, respectively.
Even better, Ubuntu could provide a package for libEMF (http://

status: | New → Fix Released |
I have just taken over the pstoedit Debian package.
The above patches seem sensible, and I'd like to include them.
Debian does have libzip-dev but not libming-dev.
Should I also package the latter?
Ditto with libemf-dev.
(Would also welcome regular enhancements/fixes to github. com/barak/ pstoedit since upstream seems somewhat scarce lately.)
