> Are we sure the bug was in Poppler? No. But there is no test case, nor AFAICT a known way to test under the same circumstances (which are in parts unknown - e.g. into which prefix was the user-compiled poppler version installed? which poppler version was inkscape trunk installed from PPA actually attempting to load?).
I was mistaken about stable Inkscape 0.91 though - the project does indeed offer 0.91 for 12.04 via PPA: https://launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/+archive/ubuntu/stable If the reporter still uses (K)Ubuntu 12.04, it might be worthwhile to undo any local poppler upgrades, install Inkscape 0.91 from PPA and retest PDF import, relying on poppler installed via package manager (i.e. the same version against which the PPA build is compiled). OTOH we do have similar reports against stable 0.91 (on newer distros) which are still open (it's a crash though instead of hang that also occurs even before the PDF import dialog is opened): bug #1584659 and duplicate bug #1584659 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1324693 Title: Hang on import of pdf files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1324693/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
