The source of this problem is contained within the libspectre1 library. This is the evince postscript backend. Between precise and trusty, libspectre1 was upgraded from 0.2.6-1build1 to 0.2.7-2ubuntu1.1. I downloaded and installed the previous version from the precise archive and eps files now render correctly in envice and the thumbnails are correct, too.
Update manager, of course, now wants to update me back to 0.2.7. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1348384 Title: evince and okular do not render eps files correctly resulting in a black background To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/1348384/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
