Bug#670040: pax do not work at all
Dear Heiko,
(now to the right email adr of Heiko)
we got a bug report in Debian that pax does not work, and the
reason is that pdfbox is much newer in Debian, namely 1.6.0 from
Apache:

Interesting ... pdfbox in Debian is the one from apache
http://pdfbox.apache.org/index.html
while pax uses the one from
pdfbox.org
which is an empty wordpress, and one download. I don't know what the
history of that is, maybe pdfbox was later taken over into apache
and further developped.
I am quite sure that the pdfbox from pdfbox.org will not be
packaged in Debian.
Heiko, do you see any problem in porting your pax to the recent
pdfbox by apache?
Best wishes
Norbert
