Description JR 2011-10-01 21:19:53 UTC
Description of problem:
I am running the XFCE spin of Fedora 15.  Upon installing inkscape, the render LaTeX formula is not available.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
inkscape-0.48.1-4.fc15.i686


How reproducible:
Always on an XFCE F15 load (which is what I use)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load XFCE spin
2. 'yum install inkscape' as root
3. Try to render a LaTeX formula, the menu item is not there
  
Actual results:
The menu item isn't available

Expected results:
The menu item is there and the user is able to render a LaTeX formula.

Additional info:
Fortunately I found (http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ) the Wiki page for Inkscape and noticed that this function requires the 'pstoedit' package.  Should this be required by the inkscape SPEC file?

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 16:53:17 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
