[Bug 1348384] Re: evince and okular do not render eps files correctly resulting in a black background

[Till Kamppeter]

The SRU was the simple application of an upstream patch from this
upstream bug report

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76450

I do not know anything of the internals of libspectre and even do not
have upload rights for it, as it does not belong to printing. It is used
by evince to generate certain output data formats. I only have done the
debdiff for that SRU because no one else did it. I am not maintaining
libspectre in Ubuntu.

So my suggestion is to simply remove the patch if the solution of the
current problem is urgent and no better patch from upstream is
available. But take into account that the problem of the original SRU
will reappear. Let this be a new SRU. Wait for a better upstream fix if
it is not so urgent.

In general make upstream aware of both problems and that fix of the
first problem caused the second and what is needed is a fix to solve
both problems. Do another SRU if the final fix is available.
