Package: scribus-ng Version: 1.3.4.dfsg~cvs20070510-1 Severity: grave Justification: Renders package unusable
After upgrading from Scribus 1.3.3.8 to the latest version in unstable, the programme has become near unusable. In particular every operation which implies redrawing of a page tages ages, while eating all cpu time. Further more, I have seen many random bugs, including imported text being truncated and text beding rendered incorrectly. What is really annoying is, that after downgrading to the last functioning version in testing, I find that 1.3.4 silently breaks downwards compatibility and converts files to a format which is not understood by scribus < 1.3.4. Fortunately I had a backup of my files to which I could revert without loosing too much of my work. I wonder if the buggyness and sloppyness is to blame on the fact that you have uploaded a CVS snapshot. If so, I'd really like to urge you to stick with the 1.3.3.x branch until 1.3.4 is officially there. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-k7 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages scribus-ng depends on: ii gs-esp 8.15.3.dfsg.1-1 The Ghostscript PostScript interpr ii gs-gpl 8.56.dfsg.1-1 The GPL Ghostscript PostScript int ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.19-3 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libc6 2.5-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcupsys2 1.2.11-2 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libfontconfig1 2.4.2-1.2 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.2.1-6 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.2-20070528-1 GCC support library ii libjpeg62 6b-13 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii liblcms1 1.16-5 Color management library ii libqt3-mt 3:3.3.7-4+b1 Qt GUI Library (Threaded runtime v ii libstdc++6 4.2-20070528-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libtiff4 3.8.2-7 Tag Image File Format (TIFF) libra ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxml2 2.6.28.dfsg-1 GNOME XML library ii python 2.4.4-6 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-tk 2.4.4-1 Tkinter - Writing Tk applications ii python2.4 2.4.4-4 An interactive high-level object-o ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-15 compression library - runtime Versions of packages scribus-ng recommends: ii cupsys-bsd 1.2.11-2 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii gsfonts-x11 0.20 Make Ghostscript fonts available t ii xfonts-scalable 1:1.0.0-6 scalable fonts for X -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
