java_libs/com/lowagie/text/pdf/codec/postscript/PAContext.java

Have notified upstream about this problem.

Comment 3 Jochen Schmitt 2007-06-21 18:08:16 UTC
The iText package of Fedora contains the same files.

Comment 4 Kevin Kofler 2007-06-21 18:10:12 UTC
I know, see Bug 236309. :-)

Comment 5 Jochen Schmitt 2007-06-24 18:01:42 UTC
Package will going into the EOL process, becouse iText was remove caused by
licensing issues and pdftk contains a bundled copy of iText.
