Public bug reported: Ubuntu Quantal
I recently did a package update and found that it broke the utility 'rsvg-convert' in package librsvg2-bin. It is now no longer able to render an SVG file containing an embedded png in the xlink tag. An application I am developing depends on the librsvg2 library, so I noticed this immediately. It's a major problem for me not being able to do this. Specifically the problem is with the security upgrade from version 2.36.3-0ubuntu1 to version 2.36.3-0ubuntu1.1 of librsvg2 and associated packages. Extract from /var/log/apt/history.log: librsvg2-bin:amd64 (2.36.3-0ubuntu1, 2.36.3-0ubuntu1.1) librsvg2-common:amd64 (2.36.3-0ubuntu1, 2.36.3-0ubuntu1.1) librsvg2-common:i386 (2.36.3-0ubuntu1, 2.36.3-0ubuntu1.1) librsvg2-dev:amd64 (2.36.3-0ubuntu1, 2.36.3-0ubuntu1.1) librsvg2-doc:amd64 (2.36.3-0ubuntu1, 2.36.3-0ubuntu1.1) TO REPRODUCE: Example of command that fails to render png image: rsvg-convert -f png --background-color cyan banner.svg > cyan-banner.png Download this to test: http://www.eiffel-loop.com/download/bug-example.tar.gz I expect to see this transparent png rendered with a cyan background, instead what I see is just a cyan background with no image. Although I strongly suspect that this recent update was the cause of the problem I cannot be absolutely sure as reverting to prior version using dpkg did not fix it. I also tried reverting libcairo2 to an earlier version incase the problem was there but that hasn't fixed it either. On the other hand, I can't be sure I did the reversion correctly. Anyway it seems too much of a concidence that the problem appeared after doing the upgrade.
