Description Florian Hubold 2014-10-03 15:15:31 CEST

Description of problem:

When trying to open About Emacs from Help menu in x11 emacs, no about screen is displayed, only the error message "Invalid image type `svg"
emacs is missing a BuildRequires on pkgconfig(librsvg-2.0).

Also some other BuildRequires should be added to enable support for other features, like OTF font support, m17-flt text shaping and gpm support for non-x11 version.

Reproducible:

@tv: Could you please have a look at http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages?view=revision&revision=736407

If there are no objections, I'd push this for cauldron and also as an update for mga4 at least.

Comment 2 Florian Hubold 2014-10-05 16:46:56 CEST

Fixed for cauldron with emacs-24.3-7.mga5, now it even shows a nice emacs logo :)

Will push updates for mga4 and 3 shortly ...

Comment 3 Florian Hubold 2014-10-05 17:08:07 CEST

@QA Team: I'd also like to try out to create and advisory for this as explained in https://wiki.mageia.org/en/How_to_create_an_update_advisory#Creating_a_new_advisory
If you think the information below is sufficient for the adisory, then just tell me and I'll do so :)


========================

I have uploaded a patched/updated package for Mageia 3 and 4.

You can test this by running emacs and checking if the graphic logo is
shown and if Help -> About Emacs shows the Emacs version. 

Before the fix, it would only show Invalid image type `svg`

Suggested advisory:
========================

Updated emacs packages fix "Invalid image type `svg`" error message when
trying to select Help -> About Emacs from menu. This also means now the
Emacs logo is shown on startup.

========================

Updated packages in core/updates_testing:
========================
emacs-24.2-5.2.mga3.x86_64.rpm

Comment 7 Len Lawrence 2014-10-06 01:13:35 CEST

Actually, with reference to the package list, I was unsure if it needed to be tested in 32-bit.

Comment 8 Len Lawrence 2014-10-06 01:22:17 CEST

And the help information gives the wrong version : 24.3-4.1

urpmi emacs
Package emacs-24.3-4.2.mga4.x86_64.rpm is already installed

Comment 9 Otto Leipälä 2014-10-06 07:47:54 CEST

Yes it need to be testing all arch and versions.

Help=>About shows 24.3.1 here Len, the software version rather than our release.

It didn't display at all before the update.
