It looks like the crash is occurring in libgsf. Can you reproduce this with the debugging symbols for that library?

I think I have them installed.

Is that not enough?


Thanks,

I do not know if it is related, but I think this was printed to the terminal, when it crashed.

(evince:12122): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot add interface type `EvDocumentThumbnails' to type `DviDocument', since type `DviDocument' already conforms to interface

(evince:12122): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot add interface type `EvFileExporter' to type `DviDocument', since type `DviDocument' already conforms to interface

reopening as the questions from #1 have answered.
Comment 5 Paul Menzel 2010-05-10 14:27:08 UTC
Evince 2.30.1 does not crash anymore. It shows a message that the file could not be opened and explains that it did not find it.

    $ texdoc objectz
    ** (evince:25086): WARNING **: Fehler beim Untersuchen der Datei /tmp/texdoc.RkTZLz/ozguide.dvi mit fstat(): Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

    ** (evince:25086): WARNING **: Fehler beim Setzen der Metadaten der Datei: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

    ** (evince:25086): WARNING **: Fehler beim Setzen der Metadaten der Datei: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

Following this I found out that the archive `texdoc` decompressed was damaged and therefore nothing extracted at all [1].

Since Evince is handling this error path gracefully now (I do not know since when) I am closing this bug now.
