Bug Description
Binary package hint: pstoedit
pstoedit used to be able to convert to the SVG format with libplot. Now it no longer links against libplot, and so all output formats only available via libplot do not work any more.
Example:
$ pstoedit -f svg fig.eps
pstoedit: version 3.45 / DLL interface 108 (build Jan 21 2009 - release build - g++ 4.3.3 20090119 (prerelease)) : Copyright (C) 1993 - 2007 Wolfgang Glunz
Unsupported output format svg
Available formats :
...
This causes the SVG import in inkscape to fail, so it is a serious problem.

About me:
I am using an up to date (not quite released) Jaunty installation on AMD64.
$ apt-cache policy pstoedit

I can confirm this, also on Jaunty.
As a workaround I rebuilt the package (as it is - no changes/patches applied), and it now works.
(ie apt-get source pstoedit -> apt-get build-dep pstoedit -> dpkg-buildpackage -> dpkg -i).
pstoedit now has various 'plot-*' filters, in particular, plot-svg.
This also fixes latex rendering in inkscape. (see bug #123499)
Possibly only a rebuild is required?
Cheers,
Andrew
