Package: transfig Version: 1:3.2.5-alpha5-2
We want to report a bug of transfig in the version 1:3.2.5-alpha5-2 (testing). The 1:3.2.3.d-rel-2 version of transfig does not include this bug. It comes out when converting arrows, drawn in xfig, to metapost. As attachment we send a simple example, also for comparison of the two versions. In the 3.2.5 xfig arrows are not built correctly any more.
In every case the result of this line works correctly: fig2dev -L eps arrow.fig > arrow.eps
But these lines (MP-converting) only work correctly in version 3.2.3: fig2dev -L mp arrow.fig > arrow.mmp mpost arrow.mmp
The attachment contains a diff.txt, which maybe shows the problem concerning the two different built mmp-files (depending on the transfig version). The problem is obviously observable on these two files (or other.0.ps): 3.2.3/arrow.0 (ps file) 3.2.5/arrow.0 (ps file)
We are using Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.8-1-k7 and libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20.
Thank you.
