Bug Description
Ubuntu Quantal
I recently did a package update and found that it broke the utility 'rsvg-convert' in package librsvg2-bin. It is now no longer able to render an SVG file containing an embedded png in the xlink tag. An application I am developing, depends on the librsvg2 library, so I noticed this immediately.
Specifically the problem is with the security upgrade from version 2.36.3-0ubuntu1 to version 2.36.3-0ubuntu1.1 of librsvg2 and associated packages.
Extract from /var/log/
librsvg2-bin:amd64 (2.36.3-0ubuntu1, 2.36.3-0ubuntu1.1)
librsvg2-
librsvg2-
librsvg2-dev:amd64 (2.36.3-0ubuntu1, 2.36.3-0ubuntu1.1)
librsvg2-doc:amd64 (2.36.3-0ubuntu1, 2.36.3-0ubuntu1.1)
TO REPRODUCE:
Example of command that fails to render png image:
rsvg-convert -f png --background-color cyan banner.svg > cyan-banner.png
(See attached file)
I expect to see this transparent png rendered with a cyan background, instead what I see is just a cyan background with no image.
The problem went away after I downgraded to the prior version of librsvg using dpkg
OTHER AFFECTED APPLICATIONS:
the eog image-viewer (Eye of Gnome)
