Description of problem: abiword's command line conversion fails to produce correct output. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): abiword-2.4.6-1.fc6 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. abiword --to=odt file.doc Actual results: (AbiWord-2.4:19159): libgsf:msole-CRITICAL **: ole_get_block: assertion `block < ole->info->max_block' failed file.odt is produced, but it only contains some of the data in the original Word file. Expected results: Additional info: I've tried a variety of .doc files, and have also tried --to=abw, --to=sxw, but the problem is the same (libgsf CRITICAL msg).
This is most likely a problem with the .doc importer, NOT the exporter. Could you attach the MS Word Document so we can try to find out what is going wrong here? The libgsf CRITICAL msg comes from the WordPerfect file scanning routine misusing gsf.
It's not the word doc content. I just created a new word file (in OpenOffice.org) containing a single character 'a', and tried to do the conversion with abiword again. Same Barf.
The libgsf:msole-CRITICAL message still appears on Fedora 7 with abiword.i386 1:2.4.6-5.fc7
The libgsf:msole-CRITICAL message is unrelated, and comes from the WordPerfect document detection code. This message will be removed in AbiWord 2.6. Note: Without any attached sample document, this bug will not be fixed.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 is 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 please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. 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. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists. Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 7 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on June 13, 2008. Fedora 7 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
