Description FreeDesktop Bugzilla Database Corruption Fix User 2005-08-02 06:35:58 UTC

Evince just crashed for me with the following error. I cannot reproduce it though.

evince: cairo.c:86: _cairo_error: Assertion `status > CAIRO_STATUS_SUCCESS &&
status <= CAIRO_STATUS_FILE_NOT_FOUND' failed.

This sounds similar to a bug found by our friends over at the ubuntu bugzilla:

https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13073

Could you precisely state which version of cairo you were using? If from CVS,
what was the most recent commit message in cairo/ChangeLog)?

I'm using libcairo1-0.6.0-1mdk (mandriva cooker). I will try to rebuild evince
against the 0.6.0-devel headers, maybe that makes a difference.

Comment 3 Carl Worth 2005-08-02 08:13:49 UTC

As referenced in the ubuntu bug #13073 above, there are fixes in the cairo
CVS tree after 0.6.0 that may fix this problem.

You mentioned you were having trouble reproducing the problem, but if you
can, and can see whether the bug goes away with the latest cairo from CVS
that would be very useful information.

Comment 4 Carl Worth 2005-08-22 17:15:03 UTC

Move bugs against "cvs" version to "0.9.3" so we can remove the "cvs" version.

Way too old to be relevant still.
