Comment 2 bugreports 2008-09-27 12:24:04 UTC

Why is this a duplicate?

In #536329 installing metapost or so helped. Here *nothing* helps, evince just crashes...

In case the trace/root cause is the same, feel free to close the bug again.

Comment 3 Carlos Garcia Campos 2008-09-27 15:57:50 UTC

Could you provide the dvi file causing ths crash, please?

Comment 4 bugreports 2008-09-27 17:40:17 UTC

I did, but in #553369, lookslike I filed this bug twice.
