Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xfig
After an upgrade to Natty, xfig can no longer parse EPS files. The
simplest test of this is to draw, for instance, a circle in xfig, export
to EPS (which works), then try to place it in an xfig file as a Picture
object. I get the following error:
===============================================
Could not parse EPS file with ghostscript: $û

GPL Ghostscript 9.01: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1
EPS object read OK, but no preview bitmap found/generated
===============================================
Its final claim here is partially correct. Although I can't see what
I'm doing, if I now export the file to EPS, the result looks exactly as
I would expect. However, it doesn't seem to be correctly reading
bounding boxes -- if, when importing the EPS file, I ask xfig to expand
or shrink the Picture to its original h/w ratio, the second x coordinate
is set to (the first x coordinate - 4772185.8844).
GV and transfig seem to work just fine, so I'd have difficulty blaming
ghostscript.
