Bug#959885: inkscape: crashes when called without X server

[Ole Streicher <ole@aip.de>]

Package: inkscape
Version: 1.0~rc1-4
Severity: important
Control: affects -1 src:debian-astro

Dear maintainer,

I use inkscape when building the debian-astro package to convert our
logo from svg into several end user formats (pdf, png).

This doesn't work any longer, since inkscape crashes when called without
an X server, even when the gui is not used (and not displayed) at all:

---------------------------------8<----------------------------------------------
$ inkscape --batch-process Debian-Astro-logo.svg --export-filename=Debian-Astro-logo.pdf
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused

** (inkscape:1932018): WARNING **: 16:59:25.874: Fonts dir '/usr/share/inkscape/fonts' does not exist and will be ignored.

** (inkscape:1932018): WARNING **: 16:59:25.874: Fonts dir '/home/soo/.config/inkscape/fonts' does not exist and will be ignored.

ConcreteInkscapeApplication<T>::create_window: Should not be called!

---------------------------------8<----------------------------------------------

When trying with a running X server, the program works, but the X server
does not display anything from inkscape.

This significantly complicates the usability of inkscape for batch
processing.

Best regards

Ole
