Description Oliver Sampson 2020-07-07 10:20:13 UTC 
Description of problem:
Including inkscape 1.0 in Fedora breaks pdflatex

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
inkscape-1.0-2.fc31

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual results:


Expected results:


Additional info:
pdflatex calls inkscape when the svg package is included in a .tex file and an svg file (\includesvg{}) is included in the .tex file. pdflatex calls inkscape with the -z option (--without-gui) which has been removed in inkscape 1.0. The call to inkscape fails and the image is not included in the document.

Comment 5 Oliver Sampson 2020-07-11 10:48:37 UTC 
I just tested the update on my usecase (Kile->pdfLatex) in a .tex file with \usepackage{svg} and \includesvg{filename}. 

The following errors were reported:
! Package scrbase Error: unknown member `' at family `SVG'.

See the scrbase package documentation for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.

Comment 6 Tom "spot" Callaway 2020-07-13 20:37:59 UTC 
Hm. When I do a simple test case:

*** test.tex ***

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{svg}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}

\begin{figure}[htbp]
  \centering
  \includesvg{image}
  \caption{svg image}
\end{figure}

\end{document}


*** EOF ***

With image.svg in the same directly, I can now run:

pdflatex --shell-escape test.tex

and it works properly.

I'm not sure what's failing for you now, but it's not related to the inkscape -z issue.

Comment 12 matthias.rambausek 2020-10-26 21:41:59 UTC 
Problem still persists at least on my up-to-data Fedora 32 system. Are there some caches I am not aware of that need to be cleaned?
Comment 13 Tom "spot" Callaway 2020-10-27 15:19:27 UTC 
Should not be, unless you've been installing things manually from CTAN or something.

Can you try the test case in comment #6 (be sure you have an "image.svg" in the same working directory)?
Comment 14 matthias.rambausek 2020-10-27 19:29:50 UTC 
Unfortunately, it does not work (see below).
I did the test with an official and updated fedora32 podman image and on the native OS with identical results. 
(just to check whether some remaining from a CTAN texlive installation cause trouble)

Comment 15 Tom "spot" Callaway 2020-10-28 15:15:03 UTC 
Well, that's rather nasty and I can reproduce it there.

The good news is that Fedora 33 does not seem to have that issue. The bad news is that fixing it in Fedora 32 probably requires bringing the rest of TeXLive 2020 with it. Oh well, in for a penny, in for a pound.
Comment 16 Tom "spot" Callaway 2020-10-28 15:16:07 UTC 
To be clear, I do _NOT_ plan to bring TL2020 to Fedora 31. I realize this leaves Fedora 31 broken for this scenario, but the cost of this change there is just too high.
Comment 17 matthias.rambausek 2020-10-28 16:12:29 UTC 
'Good' to hear that I did not mess my system, but I see the trouble...

Well, I for my part moved to a fedora 33 toolbox container on my fedora 32 system until I'll do the full upgrade. Works fine even using texstudio and inkscape from the toolbox! (but I had at some point to relink /etc/resolv.conf since fedora 32 and fedora 33 have different /etc/resolv.conf locations...)
