Hi hp4, could you paste here which version of poppler you have? Also, does the problem show up with a specific PDFs? Could you point me to at least one of them? Regards Marek
Hi Marek, the backtrace in my original attachment indicates for the lib-version /usr/lib/libpoppler.so.18 Is there any other version you are interested in ? It seems to happen with different (may be somewhat larger) files, e.g. scanned google-books. An example that produces this error : www.wilbourhall.org/pdfs/Apollonius_VOL_I.pdf I've opened this file several times and it worked fine. But after one of the last Fedora-updates it always crashes. BR and thanks for help Hans-Peter
rpm -q poppler will tell you the precise pkg version installed.
bash-4.2$ rpm -q poppler poppler-0.18.0-2.fc16.i686
Hi hp4, could you try to downgrade your openjpeg library and try it again? Just run "yum downgrade openjpeg*" under root. I think that this is the same problem as in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=796500. Regards Marek
Hi Marek, the downgrade works. But I didn't understand the whole discussion in the bug mentioned above. What's the conclusion for normal Fedora-16-Users: - will poppler or openjpeg provide a corrections ? - will the Fedora-16-team provide a consistent SW-upgrade procedure ? - do I have to postpone SW-updates until the bug is fixed ? I think you should reroute this bug to the Fedora team till the problem is solved, so that normal users can still upgrade there systems. Thanks for your help. BR Hans-Peter
