Ubuntu Lucid uploaded today a new version of librsvg2-2, 2.26.3-0ubuntu1, which reintroduces this bug as it includes this patch from upstream GNOME:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi^id=563933 "Corrupted rendering of a card in 'Paris' aisleriot card theme"

In the GNOME bug cited above, the patch for this bug is removed in favor of another.

Sorry for the bad link. It should be

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=563933

is the bug there fixed or not? if it's fixed but the update has a new issue you should open a new bug rather than reopening one

This bug and the one cited in the GNOME bug are mutually exclusive. No fix covers "incorrect float parsing in path data" *and* "corrupt Paris Aisleriot card theme" at once. The upstream bug for "corrupt Paris Aisleriot card theme" (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=563933) says that a fix for "incorrect float parsing in path data" (this bug) made it regress, but in doing so, GNOME librsvg reacquired the bug "incorrect float parsing in path data".

Ubuntu's librsvg got the fix for "corrupt Paris Aisleriot card theme" last week. In doing so, this bug reappeared, and is the very same issue that has been reported originally in 2008 and fixed.

For a bug that attempts to fix both the Paris Aisleriot card theme being corrupted, and this bug, please see bug 370061 and mark this one as a duplicate as appropriate.

I'm not sure to understand the summary, so the fix create an another bug and there is no correct fix for both issues yet? The choice is basically between 2 bugs. Which one do you recommend to fix in lucid and which one not and why?

Exactly; currently there are fixes in librsvg git for one or the other of these bugs, but not both. The Aisleriot card theme corruption fix... undoes this one before doing its thing.

There *is* a patch proposed in bug 370061's upstream GNOME counterpart (by me, but that's irrelevant) to fix both bugs, as well as anything else that's not to the SVG spec for path parsing in librsvg. But it's not in git yet.

So until then, I would say this bug should be fixed in preference to the Paris Aisleriot card theme corruption bug, because Ubuntu doesn't bundle that card theme.

trading one bug for an another doesn't seem to be the best way, we might want to wait for the upstream bug to be correctly solved

Agreed. I'll mark this as a duplicate of bug 370061 the, because that bug is a superset of this one.
