Description:
evince frequently crashes when opening certain pdf files. I could not see any clear pattern for which kind of pdf files trigger the crash and coredump Additional info: * package version(s): evince 3.30.2-1 * config and/or log files: coredump from systemd-journal is attached. Steps to reproduce: open a pdf file (but most files work fine) I can provide additionl logs etc. Let me know what would be required. |
This task depends upon
But the bug filed upstream does indeed seem to be the same, as I get a similar error message when evince crashes.
Thank you for pointing that out.
The bug seems to have been fixed already, so I will test after updating poppler and will then request to close the bug report.
To do this, I bumped the pkgver to 0.72.0 and the commit id for the "test" repository in the sources array from 0d2bfd4 to fcb27feed2e9a98ec0db3ab60aef4e010a9fdeb3 (otherwise the test suite fails). This resulted in a successful build that does not crash anymore.
As an aside, upstream provides PGP signatures for the source tarballs under the URL https://poppler.freedesktop.org/${pkgbase}-${pkgver}.tar.xz.sig that could be used for integrity verification. They are signed by Albert Astals Cid using a key with the fingerprint CA262C6C83DE4D2FB28A332A3A6A4DB839EAA6D7, see https://poppler.freedesktop.org/
