Description:
Saving a document as a PDF in abiword results in a crash and a core dump. This bug is actually known and fixed in trunk: http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13586#c2 Fixing commit (r33662): http://www.abisource.com/viewvc?view=rev&revision=33662 Patch generated by viewVC (also attached): http://www.abisource.com/viewvc/abiword/trunk/src/text/fmt/gtk/fv_UnixSelectionHandles.cpp?r1=33662&r2=33661&pathrev=33662&view=patch In order to fix the problem for myself, I modified the PKGBUILD of extra/abiword from abs as follows (also attached): --- PKGBUILD.orig 2014-03-27 17:07:20.541797022 -0400 +++ PKGBUILD 2014-03-27 16:15:38.438464414 -0400 @@ -17,2 +17,9 @@ -source=(http://abisource.com/downloads/$pkgbase/$pkgver/source/$pkgbase-$pkgver.tar.gz) -md5sums=('8d9c41cff3a8fbef8d0c835c65600e65') +source=(http://abisource.com/downloads/$pkgbase/$pkgver/source/$pkgbase-$pkgver.tar.gz + fix-pdf-crash.patch) +md5sums=('8d9c41cff3a8fbef8d0c835c65600e65' + '13e7bdc48af8a46bab1a9b637183ecd9') + +prepare() { + cd $srcdir/$pkgbase-$pkgver + patch -Np2 -i $srcdir/fix-pdf-crash.patch +} Considering that this issue is basically fixed by upstream, it may be wise to simply wait until the next release. I figured that I'd file a report anyway, though, because, in my opinion, this problem is not insignificant. My apologies if this is off-limits for the Arch bug tracker. Additional info: * abiword 3.0.0-1 in extra Steps to reproduce: 1. in an instance of abiword, go to file > save a copy 2. try to save a pdf 3. core dump |
