Hello Robie, testing djvulibre-bin : testing command : djvups, djview4 hardware : atom based processor (Pentium J5005)
- 3.5.27.1-8ubuntu0.1 $ Segfault (core dumped) (as expected) then with version, - 3.5.27.1-8ubuntu0.2 It works ! It now returns and produces a valid postscript file. djview4 (version 4.10.6-3) works only when the patch is applied (3.5.27.1-8ubuntu0.1 -> 3.5.27.1-8ubuntu0.2). To check this, I ran djview4 before and after upgrade. Regression on an Intel® Core™ i7-7567U doesn't trigger any failure. - djvups, djview4 run like a charm as before. Thanks a bunch, There is a community out there reading old research material, digitized papers, and books, the likes of which are often found in DJVU format.

(I got a J5005 pentium ). Doesn't crash on a Intel® Core™ i7-7567U. Due to this bug https://sourceforge.net/p/djvu/bugs/293/ , and fixed in commit 8407dd, on the 7th of October 2018. From git tags, it is included in 3.5.27.1-11 (probably version xxx -10, though I cannot see this tag in git history) I notice that no dependency change affects any of the versions to the build process up to Disco (3.5.27.1-10) For intel J5005 (or N5000 on other popular machines ) this bug renders the package useless. Indeed, it crashes immediately at application startup. Note that this affects rdependencies such as evince, djview4. I suggest upgrading the version available for Bionic LTS as part of the development hardware stack long term support to 3.5.27.1-11.
