That was bizarre.  I just unpacked and repacked the download archive the
other day for a minor fix, and somehow manual226.pdf got truncated.
I've fixed it up now.  Thanks for telling me.

Subject: Bug#355081: pdf manual is corrupted

Package: evolver-doc
Version: 2.26-1
Severity: normal

evolver's pdf manual (/usr/share/doc/evolver-doc/manual226.pdf.gz) is
corrupted.  Tryimg to read it results in 
Error (0): PDF file is damaged - attempting to reconstruct xref table...
Error: Couldn't find trailer dictionary
Error: Couldn't read xref table

Its uncompressed size is 143360 bytes whereas the standalone copy at
http://www.susqu.edu/brakke/evolver/downloads/manual226.pdf is 1385043
bytes, so only 10% of it seems to be available.  The standalone copy
works
fine.

The corruption appears in the original pdf manual from the upstream
tarball,
so I've cc'd Ken Brakke to let him know.

Thanks,

Drew
