Package: asymptote-doc Version: 2.02-2 Severity: minor Recent versions of Debian have had a somewhat infamous bad interaction between 8.x versions of ghostscript and 0.12.x versions of poppler that causes mostly harmless but annoying error messages related to the tools' disagreement about the legality of a corner case of PDF syntax. The symptom of the problem is that poppler-based PDF viewing utilities will print the warning message
Error: Illegal entry in bfrange block in ToUnicode CMap Upstream the problem has been doubly fixed by changes to both ghostscript and poppler; the ghostscript fix has propagated to testing, but the poppler fix is still only in experimental. More details: ghostscript bug: #578910 poppler bug: #578050 This issue is particularly annoying when it occurs in documents indexed by "dhelp", because the error appears without further explanation in the output of a weekly cron job when the dhelp indexing process runs "pdftotext". Among the many documentation packages on my system, it appears that asymptote-doc is the only one left with a dhelp PDF with this issue. This could be resolved by rebuilding the package on a system with an up-to-date ghostscript package. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
