I usually do svg graphics with inkscape (0.40-r1) and onverts them to png files with the following command inkscape -e test.png test.svg it worked well last week, but I now have the following errors and it doesn't work (even for very simple files): $ inkscape -e test.png test.svg Emergency save activated! Emergency save completed. Inkscape will close now. If you can reproduce this crash, please file a bug at www.inkscape.org with a detailed description of the steps leading to the crash, so we can fix it.

Reemerging inkscape didn't change anything. I don't remember what I emerged recently which could havbe caused this, and I don't know how to check.
It works well now. I don't understand why, but the bug disapeared.
