Please can you update pyPdf in F15, F14 and F13 as well? In Fedora calibre is using this external pyPdf library instead its private one where one of the mentioned bugs (the typo for "\b") was explicitly fixed.

If you don't have time, I could quickly do the update. Please let me know whether this would be OK with you.

I did not update pyPdf F13/F14 because I tried to be careful with respect to possible incompatibilities (though I don't think there are any). F15 is definitively an oversight by me.

So if you also assume that 1.13 is a compatible upgrade for 1.12, just go ahead and commit the update.

Sorry, F15 is fine. I have overseen that the update happened before F15 was split off.

I have quickly checked the API and I haven't found any incompatible changes.

The following packages depend on pyPdf in Fedora: calibre, pdfposter and pdfshuffler. I have tested all of them and I haven't seen any issues so far.

So I've built the updates for F13 and F14 as well. Once they are in updates-testing, I'll mail the packagers of pdfposter and pdfshuffler to test it as well. That way we should be on the safe side not causing any breakage.
