Package: xpdf-utils
Version: 1.00-3.4
Severity: normal
pdftotext reports an error for the file
/usr/share/doc/texmf/pdftex/base/pic.pdf.gz
(after unzipping it), claiming that
Error (0): PDF file is damaged - attempting to reconstruct xref table...
Error: Couldn't find trailer dictionary
Error: Couldn't read xref table
but in fact the file displays a nice picture with xpdf, and pdfinfo says

which all seems to be OK ... except for the interesting date.
Clearly either pdftotext is mistaken, or the file really does fail to
meet some requirement for PDF files; if the latter, then the tetex-doc
package should have the bug report filed against it.
