I just did a fresh install of 14.04.2 from a newly downloaded 14.04.2 iso. This contains libspectre1_0.2.7-2ubuntu1.1_amd64 and produces the bug.
I tried Corentin's fix to install the vanilla version, but compiling crashed with: dpkg-genchanges: error: cannot read ../libspectre_0.2.7-vanilla-0ubuntu1.dsc: No such file or directory dpkg-buildpackage: error: dpkg-genchanges gave error exit status 2 I've gone through all of the ubuntu versions and this is what I get: libspectre1_0.2.7-2ubuntu1_amd64 -- White background libspectre1_0.2.7-2ubuntu1.1_amd64 -- Black background libspectre1_0.2.7-2ubuntu2_amd64 -- Black background libspectre1_0.2.7-2ubuntu3_amd64 -- White background So, version 3 works for me, but that is in 14.04.2. I see GrandVizier has a new problem in 15.04. I've attached an example eps file that renders correctly in 14.04.2 with libspectre1_0.2.7-2ubuntu3_amd64. ** Attachment added: "Example eps file that I am using to evaluate the presence of this bug." https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/1348384/+attachment/4423653/+files/example.eps -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1348384 Title: evince and okular do not render eps files correctly resulting in a black background To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/1348384/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
