Description of problem: I had some old .dvi files from my PhD years and I would like to see them. So I have run sudo yum install evince-dvi and then evince putnam_BAC-2000.dvi and this is what I've got instead of the view of document: bradford:putnam$ evince putnam_BAC-2000.dvi kpathsea: Running

(SIGSEGV) (core dumped [obraz paměti uložen]) bradford:putnam$ (and no there is no core dump present) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evince-dvi-2.28.2-1.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Actual results: crash Expected results: working evince-dvi ... I guess some texlive packages are missing, but they should be pulled in by requires Additional info:
Hi Matej, could you send me the dvi (to my email)? I would like to examine the crash. To those requires, there are really some requires missing, but they are missing in rpm kpathsea (its functions are called by evince), it should require texlive-utils. Regards Marek
Created attachment 434016 [details] requested DVI file
Hi Matej, thank you for the dvi file, it helped me much when tracking the segfault down. I've found that the crash is already reported by abrt in bug #555113. I will attach my patch there. I'm going to reassign this bug to kpathsea (a texlive's subpackage) since the requirement of texlive-utils is missing in kpathsea. Regards Marek
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '12'. 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 12'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 12 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 to the applicable version. 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. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Yes, this has been fixed, at least in F14 it just works.
