Bug Description
Binary package hint: evince
This bug is related to bug #180065, but it is a new behavior.
Distrib : Ubuntu hardy (development branch)
package : evince
version : 2.21.91-0ubuntu1
Step to reproduce :
* $ mkdir /tmp/plop
* open a pdf file
* chose File > Save a copy
* go to /tmp/plop
* use . as filename
* chose save.
=> evince crash
Normaly evince should display a error to avoid the use of . as filename. It should neither crash nor try to save a file on an existing directory.
traceback :
fabien@Id2ndR-8:~$ mkdir /tmp/plop
fabien@Id2ndR-8:~$ evince ondes_electroma
(evince:11018): Gnome-WARNING **: Accessibility: failed to find module 'libgail-gnome' which is needed to make this application accessible
(evince:11018): GLib-GObject-
(evince:11018): GLib-WARNING **: GError set over the top of a previous GError or uninitialized memory.
This indicates a bug in someone's code. You must ensure an error is NULL before it's set.
The overwriting error message was: Error opening file '/tmp/plop': Is a directory
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
