Topic

Updated transfig packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The transfig utility creates portable documents that can be printed in a wide
variety of environments. The utility converts the FIG files produced by the Xfig
editor to other formats by creating a makefile that can translate the FIG files
and the figures in the PIC format into a specified LaTeX graphics language, for
example PostScript.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Prior to this update, the PostScript files generated by the transfig utility

incorrectly were reported to conform to the PostScript document structuring
conventions (DSC). As a consequence, printing from the Xfig editor and printing
the PostScript files generated by transfig could result in blank pages. A patch
that improves the DSC conformance has been applied to address this bug, and the
Xfig drawings are printed as expected in the aforementioned cases. (BZ#858718)

Users of transfig are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
