I am getting the following from the command line: inkscape: libavoid/connector.cpp:844: bool Avoid::ConnRef::generatePath(): Assertion `pathlen < 200' failed. Looking at libavoid/connector.cpp, it seem that inkscape was not designed for path length > 200. And I think I hit the limit. Here is what I can get from this source file name: 825 int pathlen = 1; 826 for (VertInf *i = tar; i != _srcVert; i = i->pathNext) 827 { 828 pathlen++; 829 if (i == NULL) 830 { 831 db_printf("Warning: Path not found...\n"); 832 pathlen = 2; 833 tar->pathNext = _srcVert; 834 if ((_type == ConnType_PolyLine) && _router->InvisibilityGrph) 835 { 836 // TODO: Could we know this edge already? 837 EdgeInf *edge = EdgeInf::existingEdge(_srcVert, tar); 838 COLA_ASSERT(edge != NULL); 839 edge->addCycleBlocker(); 840 } 841 break; 842 } 843 // Check we don't have an apparent infinite connector path. 844 COLA_ASSERT(pathlen < 200); 845 } 846 std::vector<Point> path(pathlen); I'm using a lot of connectors in this drawing, you can look at the file that fails to open. And this is very annoying because I can save the drawing ok, but then I can't open it afterwards. Fortunately, I have version control and was able to dig up a previous version that I could still open. But when I'm doing some operations, it always end up with this assertion failure.
Removing this assertion and recompiling inkscape ... I can open my files; Yay ! Reported in inkscape bug tracker: https://bugs.launchpad.net/fedora/+bug/1155046
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '18'. 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 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 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, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. 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.
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 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. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
