For the last few days, some Scribus documents I work with have stopped
accepting PDF files within image frames. Prior to this, they would
display a preview. Now new image frames that I create show just the
file name, but some older frames within the document still show the
preview.
When I export the document as a PDF, the frames that just display the
file name export as empty/blank. The older frame that shows a preview
causes the export to stop with an error saying it was unable to load
the image.
I'm not sure if this is related to something in the PDFs or not.
However it is happening on two documents I am working on.
The problem appears to be an incompatibility between Scribus and
Ghostscript 9.25 since I've found mention of a similar problem
(importing .eps files) on a Scribus list.
Does anyone know if the Debian maintainers are going to revert to an
earlier version of Ghostscript or bring the fix down from an
experimental version of Scribus to fix this? Whatever the solution, the
current situation is not good enough to allow Buster to become Stable.
