Bugzilla Bug 106123

Importing postscript produces the following: pstoedit: version 3.33 / DLL
interface 108 (build Sep 14 2005 - release build) : Copyright (C) 1993 - 2003
Wolfgang Glunz
Unsupported driver sk

It looks like libp2edrvstd.so is missing. I looked through the file list for
pstoedit and skencil. It's not there. What do I need to emerge to gain this file?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Inkscape
2. Open File -> Import
3. Select .ps file

Actual Results:

I'm not sure why, but none of the backends were installed when pstoedit was
emerged. I reemerged pstoedit and this fixed the problem. I'm not sure if
pstoedit was brought in by inkscape, or by something else. I'll be putting
together a fresh Gentoo install over the weekend. I'll pay close attention to
pstoedit and see if I can reproduce the problem.

Diff between 1st and 2nd pstoedit emerge

I emerged Inkscape on a fresh Gentoo install. pstoedit was brought in by
Inkscape. I encountered the same error, so it is reproduceable. It looks like a
linking error in pstoedit. I've attached a diff between the first emerge output
of pstoedit and the second emerge output of pstoedit.

I had the same problem with inkscape (actually pstoedit) on my x86 laptop.
this problem did not seem to appear on my amd64 desktop, but perhaps i had
reemerged pstoedit, so i cannot say for sure.  Re-emerging pstoedit does appear
to cure the problem on the laptop.  perhaps the pstoedit ebuild should call
itself recursively when it is done ;)

--sep

I have inkscape 0.43 and pstoedit doesn't import ps files. No matter haow many
times I emerged it. I grabbed the source off the official website and compiled
it and it's working now.

This appears to be a build problem with media-gfx/pstoedit[1], not with
inkscape. For now the main problem is that the fix is media-gfx/pstoedit-3.44
which has not been committed to the tree yet (bug #139024).

I succesfully imported a postcript file in 0.45.1 so this should be fixed
there. It is also going to go stable soon because of a security bug 171799.
