Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdegraphics

I can confirm [Bug 524678] that Okular does not display *any* EPS images
in a DVI file. The test file below is a simple LaTeX document containing
a single image, test.eps.

KDVI also fails this, but xdvi does not; and converting the DVI file to
a .ps file using dvips and then displaying it with gv works OK, as does
converting the .ps file to .pdf with ps2pdf.

Test files are at http://latex.silmaril.ie/test/okular/

The following are screenshots showing the failure.

This is using stock up-to-date ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS. It does not appear to
be in any way related to the presence of non-ASCII characters in image
paths. Okular 4:4.4.2-0ubuntu1.1 and KDVI 4:3.5.9-3+lenny3 are not
usable with this bug unresolved.
