I tried this in Inkscape 0.47~pre4-0ubuntu1 on karmic and it gave the expected error message:
File /tmp/my.pdf is write protected. Please remove write protection and try again. Hopefully, this means the bug is fixed in Ubuntu so I'll close this report. If you still experience this problem with the latest official ubuntu package, please feel free to reopen the report. Many thanks! ** Changed in: inkscape (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Fix Released -- Does not detect unwritable file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/380382 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
